  Thanks to all of you for the welcome. LOL, it kind of feels like when you step into a new hall... all warm and fuzzy.

  The only difference is, at the hall, the honeymoon is over at the first Amen!!

  I am a logical thinker, but not a philisophical thinker. I have studied their doctrines and prophecies. I do notice that they tend to change the meaning of them and say the "Light" gets brighter and brighter. Translation to me: "We don't know what the hell is going on, so we'll give it the best guess" and we have to put faith in those words.

  Believing in a pipe dream? Not me. I never had a moment that I felt Jah as being tengeable, something real. I could be wrong, but it's been force-fed to me for many years.

  I do live a wholesome life, am kind to others, and really don't think I could bash others for choosing to stay in the org. I would never try to convince someone to leave. I would just express how I feel about it. I let them make up their own mind.

  I don't know... I just know I feel I can breathe again since I've stopped going.

  Hi all!

  I am 45 years old and have been inactive for about 8 years or so. I was basically raised in the truth (sounds funny... truth?), my dad is an elder, my father in law is a MS, my brother goes to mtgs, my wife has been raised in it, so it's all around my life. I did serve as a MS once, not for too long.

  The thing is, I never made it real to me. I agree with most of the principals, but I have a hard time with feeling like there are requirements and stipulations to properly be accepted and looked upon as a good person.

  My life I have led as a "double" life. My wife was a Reg. Pio. for some time, but now she's not going to meetings. We don't do anything but keep to ourselves. We've lost all of our friends, no one, except for some family members, check on us or calls us.

  My wife doesn't know I'm part of this forum. I tell her we'll go back if she wants to. I've just lost the desire.

  That's the short of it. There's more I could expand on, but you get the jist of it.
