Amen right on the mark~

This should be the parents job, making sure the child is raised up in the goodness of the Lord, why must the church become a babysitter? I know of many HG filled people who don’t go to church, but maybe once or twice a year because we are all very remote. So to say one can’t function and their kids will run wild unless they are sitting in a church with a pastor, well that’s just wrong, if your child running amok then your not doing your job as a parent.

What else is being done the rest of the time to equip the saints to do the work of serving God?

And once the saints are equipped? I mean, honestly, how long does the spoon-feeding needs to go on? Then need to be trained and then released to work. Just my opinion of course, and such worth very little.

Exactly, as much preaching and teaching I have heard in 17 years how much does someone need?

17 years, 52 weeks a year, 3 times a week, 1-1/2 hour a lesson equals: 3,978 hours of learing.

Keep in mind that you were only allowed to listen, not to ask questions or participate. That's not learning, that memorizing. Scripture is one thing. But the Pastor's opinion is another.

There is a difference between teaching and learning they are not the same.
Some learn faster other slower much slower and some sad to say never learn.
