The solution is to minister positively to the church as one can. Pointing out specific areas of need is one thing, calling the whole thing a mess is like a coach telling his team, "In general, you guys stink!"
"Let's face it?" What good does that do? Oh, yeah. It shows we know something. Bully for us.

Ha ha - "Bully for us." (are you sure yer from Texas?!)
So true. Saying "You stink" to someone is derogatory to them, as is says nothing specific about their actions, but rather who they are. That is not meant to help them or make us one with them, but is of the "steal, kill & destroy" camp I think.
