Ask yourself this question: Who decides where the pastor/priest/guy in robes gets relocated to, and who decides which new one to hire? You may find that it is less independent than you think it is.

The pastor himself decides when to leave/ where to move on to. When he leaves, the elders (people who have done a lot for the church [rarely in a monetary way, they don't just buy their way in]) get together and start accepting applications from different pastors, trying out the ones who look good, then they hire the one they can come to a consensus on. The guidelines are not who can attract the most people, but the one who stays true to the actual teachings of Jesus without adding their own crap or deleting stuff they don't like.

What you describe is a minority, if it is true at all.

That is how a church is properly run. When churches dont run themselves this way it causes problems. When churches have problems they get more into the public eye because people just love hating on churches for whatever reason.
