    Welcome to the forum Emery.

    You can say things, but you have to be really careful. Like, don't tell them something they didn't already know, and don't tell them your thoughts on a subject. Instead, just mention some really idiotic teaching or rule without actually deriding it yourself ..... then shut up and let them fill in the gaps.

    @sd-7 I read your story so far and its a great read!

    Haha, well my wife is basically on the same page as me. Everything ive presented her has always been in the publications.

    @ Black Sheep

    I have learned to be careful... its crazy how sensitive your social life becomes in the organization when you begin studying and researching TTATT.

    It's hard to stay in when you know it's all a lie but, and it's a big but, if you have family in you risk losing them. So be careful and you may be able to bring some of your family out with you. I truly hope you can.

    I wasted 27 years of my life to that organisation and a few more years when I left, simply because it took me a time to shake off the brain washing.

    I hope you make it.

    Oooooh I forgot to say welcome.

    Peace

    Welcome and get ready to learn the truth about the truth.

    I'm 65 years old and spent over 30 years knocking on doors and trying to convince myself that this was God's organization. Wrong!

    I wish you the best.

    I'm so glad my generation has ready access to the real truth at just a click or tap away. I take my hat off to everybody that was in for so long and consequently had to suffer more. Please know that your efforts to bring awareness are not in vain and have probably helped many. I know they helped me. Thanks.
