Just some food for thought: If your husband was speeding in a car with the kids in the backseat off a cliff would we be asking about a congenial way to pull away? No we would all be screaming to hit the brakes!
Reality is bitch, but it's all we got. So here is reality:
1. There is no easy way to leave a cult. As a member you have been asleep and it's like an arm or leg that fell asleep. It's gonna hurt like hell, but only for a little while and hurting is not bad, it means you are waking up.
2. Your husband is driving over a cliff with your kids. Those little "medical directives" in your wallets. How would you feel if you lost a child because a surgeon hesitated for even 5 minutes instead of saving your kid's life. I know surgeons and we talk about this a lot.
I am in my 30's (left the truth at 17) and my parent's #'s are not saved in my phone as Mom or Dad for a reason. Also, my emerg contact is always a close friend that knows his job is to never let a doctor believe I am JW just incase my parent's get caught up in some nostaglia/emotional rationalization that denying me a blood transfusion would be my last shot into the new system. It's a slim chance, but I don't want a Surgeon to hesitate one nano-second if my life is on the line.
There are a lot of people that will give you a million execuses for staying in the cult once they know the TATT on this board. (Truth about the Truth). I understand their plights, but it's no execuse for just walking away. Contrary to what you've been brainwashed to believe, God will not zap you and life will go on, undoubtedly less complicated and more fulfilling in many ways. Everyone else will just have to get over their dissappointment.
