Once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?
Faded.
Did you fade?
Yes - over a long period (years) with gradual reduction in activity
Were you forced out?
In the end yes - complicated (PM me for more detail if you want)
How did you adjust to life on the outside?
I had already built something of a life outside
Do you still have social or family connections within the organization?
Family yes
What did you do to supplant the lost friends, routine, and sense of purpose?
I don't have the time to miss any of that
