As an elder myself, I watched elders meetings turn into political stands between elder factions I once watched two elders almost get into a fistfight I was horrified because at the time I too was a young elder. There is no spirit direction in elder bodies it's all a big scam. Glad you realized it while you are young. That way you won't waste anymore time with this cult.
Just fade if you have family still in. You have the perfect excuse. Tell the CO your faith has been thoroughly weakened.
You could also say your thinking about changing congregations. You might also suggest that all of this chaos has caused you great anxiety.
Set up the fade.
