Since many of you have seen the corruption of the modern day system, I was curious about something. Have any of you ever confronted leadership with what you've been shown? Or did you mostly just leave quietly?

Yes, Sheeple, I was referring to the system.
The reason why I asked this question is because I've encountered and read many advocating that a person just leave quietly and this seems corrupt on so many different levels.

Well one does have to keep in mind,
1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
Verse 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Jeremiah 23:1-2 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. 2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
God Sees and Knows even the Hearts
If one is led to talk, then do so ...within the heart of Love Only and Always.
The use of the word "elder" in 1Tim5v1 has absolutely nothing to do with positions of authority.Well one does have to keep in mind,
1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
People have built the church with a hierarchical structure that is derived from the systems of the earth rather than Christ.
If Christian leaders "serve" or are "servants", why is it that church members have to ask them permission to contribute to a "service".As the Lord himself said, whoever among you wishes to be first must be servant to all. A Christian leader is one who loves and serves.

The role most Christian leaders take is that of ruler, not servant. They enjoy their command position and exercise it despite what Jesus said.
Effectively I left after doing so. My Father actually pulled me out of the IC through employment. Being stubborn I tried very hard to return. Finally I'm totally free! GLORY!!!! I still haven't found a home church. Thinking I might try to start one.Since many of you have seen the corruption of the modern day system, I was curious about something.

Personally I see no reason to tell them. They won't listen. Yes they hear the words of your mouth or read a letter which apparently goes into the round file.If you are referring to any church gathering, it might be a good thing to at least let someone know why you feel the need to leave. Maybe they can correct things you perceive to be wrong. You can see some ministry on this at the biblecounsel web site too. I find that site to be very sound in ministry and what God intends for His testimony in the world. Look up always and live for God.
