Like I said, to me it's pretty simple:

If you join a group, you should honor the group and respect its leaders and mission. You should try your best to cooperate and be a team player.
If you can't do that, then politely leave the group with no animosity and find a group that suits you better.
If you simply cannot find a group that suits you, consider that the problem may be you and not the groups.
If you determine the problem is you and your attitude, make adjustments, go to #1 and repeat.
If you decide that the problem is everyone else but you, consider yourself excused from having to assemble with others or cooperate with anyone to accomplish the mission of the church.*

* Obviously, this last item is tongue-in-cheek.
