Where in scripture are women commanded to live under parental control until that control is passed from father to husband?
What if the woman is 40 and still unmarried, she still can't make her own life decisions and must live under daddy's roof?

The Bible says children are to obey their parents.
If she was living under her parents roof, she is to obey them
no matter what her age is.

The removal of a pastor/elder should fall under the process of church discipline as a whole.
There is no other standard in Scripture.
Follow the steps of
Matthew 18 whether the person is a pastor or a church member.
Most baptist churches fail grossly in the work of church discipline... unless it's a pastor then all bets are off.
My encouragement would be that the other elders/pastors in the church be empowered to address the situation and lead the church through it.

So after you approach the Pastor, you approach the deacons, and if they do nothing, let that be the end of it?

Yes.
If the church is unwilling to do anything, let it go.
There is no way to "convince" them and you'll only be accused causing trouble.
If the pastor is in the wrong, it will come out sooner or later.
Find a different church to attend.

True, but it doesn't say grown children have to live under their dad's roof until marriage.
Grown children are to HONOR their parents, not necessarily OBEY them.

That's the same conclusion I had sort of come to.

More times than not church members just do not want conflict or want to be apart of it. So they will just let things go. If the church is unwilling to address an issue then there is nothing to do. You will be seen as a trouble maker.
