I don't entirely disagree with you. I know that home teaching numbers and so forth can get old, but the leaders of the church have a job to do, and numbers is just one way of helping lost sheep or making sure sheep don't become lost. It is the work of Christ.
I second what others have said about lessons at church and I've been a member of wards all over the U.S. and the world. I am quite amazed at how much they are the same, although each ward might have a slightly distinct "personality."
I don't think anyone is not being open minded, just expressing our view, as you have expressed yours. We simply have a different testimony.
For me, I joined and remain involved in the church because it is Christ's, not because I like or dislike any leader or members or the administrative approach or the lessons or anything else. My salvation is mine, and not any other of the members of our church.
