Iwasonceyoung: So how long did it take to leave your wife? Zanex has been out of the "cult" for about 10 years now, but seven of those years he was on a crazy path. It was not until about three years ago now, that he has actually started to face what the religion had done to him. I know everyone goes through a different experience, I am just trying to understand it all.
Everyone has been so welcoming thank you!
Mum: Zanex is very blessed with non-JW relatives, they helped him to get to where he is now! Trust me and I am sure Zanex will agree, everything they say I take with a grain of salt. He, over the past six months, has explained much about the deceptive and manipulating things that they do. My problems lie more with I don't understand how they can do that... to their own child?? Where I came from, I could never do anything wrong (even though, I did, and I was punished) my parents loved me UNconditionally...that is something he and many others have never felt. That is really what I don't understand.
