so, so much has happened in my life over the years and continues to happen, but i won't go into the details as it would take a long time.. i don't really know why, but i returned to "the truth" 15 years ago.

in 2012 when the tv broadcasting station launched, i started to develop doubts.

the australian royal commission and other scandals made me angrier, and i now don't believe most of the core teachings.. the only reason i show up at 5 or 6 meetings each month is to keep in contact with my parents and a few other family members.. but it's killing me, literally.

I'm faded yes. I ignored all attempts of contact from the elders and didn't do anything overtly to give evidence to them to disfellowship me. My kids barely remember being JWs, I've been to university and have a career now and life is good.

You'll need a shit ton of counselling but there is life in the other side.

I was you six years ago and remember how utterly crushing it felt. My whole family are very full-on JWs; I lost contact with some completely, others I lost for a while and we've since rebuilt something of a relationship (my parents).

My children were young at the time and I knew I needed to get out before the Org poisoned their lives. It was the toughest thing I've ever done but also the best. Weekends never get old. My anxiety and depression are gone.

And yes, you choose to continue to harm yourself over your parents because you've been conditioned to do so. But that's not healthy or natural. One of the things that made me realise that staying was futile was that my parents aren't able to be truly happy anyway whether I'm with them or not because they're in a cult. There's no sense staying in the water and drowning with them if you have an opportunity for rescue and they refuse to come. I still live in hope that one day my parents may follow my example. Show them the way.
