I do not wish to make light out of you situation, but I can't help but notice your choice of words for the LC.
On a more serious note, I am also in college and although I am not in love with her, it bothers me how a female friend of mine is getting more involved with this... denomination.
The only advice I can offer is to be patient. Don't overdue it. Rather share your concerns when you really have to. I'm pretty sure that the fact that you no longer like the LC is enough to make your love doubt the LC herself, even if she does not show it. I'm no prophet, but I believe if you are patient, there will come a time when something will disturb her about the LC. Then, instead of dismissing it, she will be more open minded to your criticism.
I met a very good friend of mine at one of the lunches our Christians on Campus had. When we started to meet up a few months afterwards, I noticed that he was not going to CoC anymore. He then told me about how they are too "religious", especially in regards to his choice of music. At the time I thought his reasons to be a bit underwhelming. Yet instead of pestering me about leaving them - which might have strengthened my resolve to stay, he quietly and loyally stuck by my side. Eventually when I started to have doubts it was easier to leave them as he was there to support me.
