We are all looking, when in reality to quote the bible verse "he is never that far off" to begin with. Some of you MAY, have lost a belief in a higher power after the WT experience. Some have found Christ. Some say they have truly found Jehovah. Some simply hate all forms of religion, and discredit their varied tenets. But, for some reason our human brain asks for answers to these types of questions, so there are all always people who are all too eager to fill the void in between our ears, usually setting themselves "on high" along the way.
The reason you trusted them is simply because you are a good person.
You evidentally think you need or want, to please a God. Keep up your search for the connection. This was a learning experience. Just as the last 50 years have been for me. The reality that more than half my life was not for the real truth, is lamentable but perhaps the way to look at things is in this way.
Life and spirituality may be in discovering what it is not! Maybe we learn later on? I don't know? For some simply the brain telling them they know for sure is all they need. I know that acknowledging for one example, the importance of Gobekli Tepe to the history of humanity is profound. I think a supreme being would or should be proud of a person realizing truth, real solid factual happenings, history, art, science, math, the things that relate to reality, rather than the current quote unquote "uptodate" thoughts from some body of men demanding allegiance no matter what.
Bottom line, you are a good person, that is why you trusted someone or something. Keep learning. Dispense with the falsehoods as you learn otherwise, and you'll find what feels right.
