I was affected the same way as JT. My husband had learned many of the "truths" about things, and had read both Franz books, and shared with me, but I was resistant to it all. Finally I saw what he saw, but we both still wanted to be in the organization, since it was our whole life. We did lessen our responsibilities though, and he resigned as an elder, but we kept going. After reading C of C, I wanted out. There was just NO WAY I could stay and even try to help anyone. I just had to seperate myself. It took another 6 months to do it, but we did it. We only went to book study after that, but then quit that too. That was four years ago. WE ARE FREE.
