No. Because i was scared to leave. I knew I would end up with no friends and family and be shunned. It took a long time(years) for me to mentally prepare to leave and be strong enough to cope with the consequences. Born into the truth, baptized at 16. Married at 22. Ended up with 4 beautiful daughters. I was about 40 when i left. Now divorced, family shunning me. Really difficult as I have no friends but I am grateful I have my freedom and not afraid anymore. Now that I have been able to research the organisation my eyes are open now to just how bad it truly is. Did not have that knowledge when i was young.

by minimus inwe have been told there's no place else to go.
and to some degree mentally speaking, that is true especially if you were raised in the religion.
at 50 i was out of the organization's clutches.
