  The three reasons we leave the "Truth"

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seems to me there are mainly three roads most of us have taken.

  1.we did something "wrong" and were disfellowshipped and after felt able to look at the society in a different light.. 2.we didn't like the "truth" and were looking for a way out.. 3.we wanted it to be the truth but were overcome by the mountain of evidence against it.. which is the most common i wonder.. also do our motives play a large part in how we deal with information criticising the org.. without a reason to act information seems useless.. for instance if a person feels he has nothing to gain by leaving the org will he read different things into the same info as us?.

  i think so and that all who leave must have a reason to do so, something to gain.. this does not make their reasoning wrong or prove they we are looking for just excuse.. but is a normal way in which humans deals with information.. two humans can have the same information but if they want or desire different things they may use the information differently.. maybe thats wht so many say "where else is there to go?

  5. Their totalitarian rule didn't allow for freedom of thought or questioning.
  There came a point when there were just too many things that were obviously, point blank wrong and I couldn't stomach the hypocrisy of trying to convert other people (one of the many *requirements* to remain in good standing) to a way of life that I no longer condone or personally accept. That and sooooo many other things. I think many of us here could each write a small book containing our experiences.

  Hey safe!

  Only been here in Liberty a little over a year now Yeah, Liberty is ok....a sleepy little town. The neighbors are absolutely wonderful...best we've ever had. They have shown us more true christian love then I've ever seen from the KH!! We are about 3 miles from the KH, so your aunt and uncle must be kinda close to us.
  Pickens is in SC, right? Purple stuff? Now I'm intrigued! lol
