    Well, I did it.
    It's official and I'm relieved.
    The elders wanted to try talking to me once again, but after awhile it was obvious that they were only interested in changing my thoughts not answering any questions. So, I just calmly asked if I could disassociate myself. They acted stunned and they got tears in their eyes, but I told them that I had already grieved and was ready to move on with life. There was a lot more said, but I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
    I even told my mom who thinks I just need to get my life organized so that I can have more time to study and get back to serving Jah soon. At least she didn't act like she'd shun me.

    Thanks for the support, information and honest feelings/stories on this forum. It's been a tremendous aid for my leaving the cult.

    I'm sort of feeling exhausted and blue, but I think I'll celebrate with some wine and a good movie tonight.

    Cheers,

    Anne

    Though it's sad in a way because you end up saying good bye to so many people, it is empowering. Soooo CONGRATS!!!

    Fill the tub up with lots of hot water. Add oils and beads and powders and anything else that you want to your bath. As it's filling, light many candles. Get a relaxing drink (not necessarily alcohol either). Slip your exhausted, deserving SELF into that luxury and enjoy your tender moment. A good cry is very therapeutic too.

    Hey now you can go take drugs, kill people, drop-kick puppies and shave kittens and push old people intro traffic because without organized religion you cannot possible have morals!

    Take time for yourself :o)

    You'll see this was a wonderful decision.

    I'm so glad your mom won't shun you.
