    • 1995 change in 'Generation' began to bug me.
    • 1995-2000 approx began to look into why the annointed never seemed to die out.
    • 2001 Got the internet, still afraid to look at it much. Continued to build on my doubts.
    • 2003 Began to read CoC and ISoCF
    • 2004 [January] Finished CoC and ISoCF and knew I would never go back - began the fearful 'fade' not sure of where I was going
    • 2007 [October] Busted by elders, forced to either DA or be DF'd as apostate. DA'd
    • Day after that was Independence Day. Amen and thank God.

    I say 8 years but really I started to leave mentally and emotionally around 1995. My Hubby was DF'd last year for saying to the elders on the phone that he didn't know if evolution was true or not and refusing to meet about it. The elders recently told my mum she should treat me the same as him so I guess they regard me as DA'd.
