    I started having doubts 9 months ago, that was also the last time I was in a Kingdom hall.
    I was raised in it, and was dunked at age 15.
    We have 3 kids, the oldest left with us, it was harder for me than for my husband to not feel quilt. Son , saw alot of the lies and hypocrisy before I did.
