First post here but felt it was needed. SBF I don't know you. I have left and have been gone for the last few months. Since April of this year if I'm not mistaken. What made me leave is the exact reasons I would never go back.
1914
Generations
Blood
Birthdays
The slave
The never ending new Light always received.
I can go on and on. Many find reasons to go back. Family seems to be the reason most stay or live double lives. While I do wish you well, I also hope you don't waste the rest of your life following an organization that has been proven false by many. I remember being told that I may not make it to 40 years old and that my wife and I will walk right into the new system. Ive been an active witness since I was 15. I've been in for over 20 years and now, felt as if I've wasted so much of my life. So much of my children's lives. You only have one life.
When the year 2050 hits and they are still talking about the end is just around the corner, thats another 37 years that have gone by where you lived for someone else or followed the direction of someone else instead of yourself. This is what I was also told in the very beginning. If you find one thing wrong in any religion, then it's false religion. They would point fingers at others while not admitting they were wrong, they would just call it new light. New understanding. I wish I knew then what I know now! I would have never answered the door or said no Thank you if I opened.
Anyway, I guess this may be his exit and my entrance. Take care SBF, I have enjoyed your posts.
