Take small steps. Your family and friends will genuinely welcome you back. You must realize that you have some changes to make. Your personality has been very distorted by the organization. We were robots/clones. We were told how to walk, talk, breath, etc. It will take significant time to heal your being and come to terms with the person you let go of a long time ago. You probably don't even know yourself. Think things through, because you're whole thought processes have been dismantled. It took time, and I was very angry, as I began to really learn how duped I was. I apologized to my daughters, for putting them through what I did. But, as I told them I really believed what I was doing was truly right. Fortunately, I left the organization when I my youngest daughter was only 6-7 years old. My oldest daughter, still has some residual emotional scars from being raised in such a dysfunctional manner.

How Does One Just Go Back To Family & Friends After Leaving The "Truth"?
by minimus inif you've left all your family and friends for "the truth" and then you realize how everything you did was for nothing, how do you just go back, especially, if it's been 25 years???
my wife is going thru this dillema right now.
my daughter just went to a family member's birthday party for the 1st time yesterday and my wife feels as though she is unable to be involved because "what will the family think of her after all the birthdays and celebrations" she missed?

Oh yeah! The elders actually set me up so I would react to a situation. They didn't get what they really wanted, but enough to justify to themselves to publicly reprove me. They did me a favor, that's when I knew I was getting out! If you're interested in the details... let me know. I would be glad to share with you!

I have many thoughts on this subject. But, did you guys ever remember sitting in a book study and reading a question that didn't fit the reading material. I did. And I remember looking around, discretely, and wondering why everybody else was getting it, when I wasn't. I think even way back then, I was subconsciously questioning. I didn't ever openly question this though, because then I would have been considered weak even though I was a auxilliary pioneer.
When I did leave in the mid-80's I remember telling several people back then. The organization has run out of time relating to the generation that would see the end. I would tell them do the math. At that point I didn't care what happened I just wanted out (I disassociated myself and moved).
There were several reasons I got the heck out of there! The hypocrisy and the ranking (do you guys remember how the district overseers and circuit overseers got special parking and dining room privileges. What a crock!

It's been a long time, but I sure do remember those feelings. Actually, I was almost relieved when one of my children weren't feeling well, so I would have an excuse to stay home from the meetings.
