Hello to everyone :) I wanted to introduce myself as a newbie. I was raised in and I am currently on active status due to most of my family being very much in, but I am so ready to be done and have felt that way for quite some time. Internally I know this is not the right religion without a doubt. I have done the research and seen the hurtful policies used that don't have any scriptural merit. Externally though I am still quite reserved because I know I will lose my family otherwise by saying too much.
I think it's amazing that there is a gathering spot like this site where you can say what you think and clear your head, because you can't tell anyone else who is a witness. I would be glad to take any suggestions on using this site, or otherwise!
