    WOw !!! I didn't expect such a quick response and so many all at once..cool. listen for those of you out there who are still solid in the faith, please, my intent really isn't to stumble you. I feel that as long as you are happy, you can worship how you wish and believe in what you believe. It's just that over the years my faith has decreased greatly in this organization. Thanks Goldminer, "Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom by Raymond Franz", i'll definetly look for that book, and if you have any sources please let me know. I just recently started a relationship with a woman outside the congregation because frankly, within the congregation I'm not considered much of a catch, (There isn't a huge market these days for a single father with 2 kids). Even before that though I just could not help but notice the coldness of many of the brothers and sisters in the org. Many of which I would see in around town or on the bus, and half of them would barely cut a smile at you. Not even a hello. They either treat you like a pariah, or they make you seem invisible. Everything is based on you doing more for the cogregation, or going out in se5rvice more, never do they really have a genuine interest in you as a person. They just sort of look and you and then judge you based on what they see or what they perceive. Well I know that it is going to be a long road before i make good my escape, but hopefully I can continue on with my kids and look forward to having a productive life outside of the organization.

    and one thing that I have come to realize is that whether or not this is the true religion, I feel that it is populated by some of the most loveless, judgemental, and hypocritical people I've ever been around
