Mostly fear I suppose. Fear that if I left my children would lose their salvation. That I would lose my salvation. I was told that if I turned my back on Jehovah, it was the same as murdering my children.
I had to check out the Bible - for the truth. Not trust the Watchtower. I have been gone for two years and a bit now. Still shunned - living in a small town. Hope to reach others still lost in the cult.
