We hope to go back in time to change our course of history. We left after 20 yrs n wasted so much time n tonnes of missed opportunities. It's a cult n fill with much fear n unhappiness. Well done for waking up n leaving.

Welcome. Nice experience regarding your father. At some point in time you will need to let him know you stopped believing in the religion before going to uni, so that he does not blame himself for being too lenient in that regard. Most of the congregation will say uni corrupted you. Your BIL will be sure to rub that in. Some people blame my university education on why I left, and I just did accounting which had nothing to destroy ones faith, and made virtually no student friends.

@jwfacts: Accounting can't be that bad ;)

Welcome, it's good to have you here and I wish you all the best in your journey. I'd agree with jwfacts about making sure uni is not blamed for you leaving the organisation. It sounds like your dad is a sensible and logical person. Remember he's in a cult.

Welcome! It is good to hear you are going to college and your dad is supporting your decision. Your dad may be starting to wake up to the truth about the WT$. The first step is realizing you need a good education and he can see the faults of the GB. It may not take much to get him to wake up but before you approach him you need to do some research so you can have a better chance at waking him up.
I look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome! Do work hard at college and make the most of the opportunity that your father is supporting (at some cost to himself potentially).
