I didn't leave because I was lied to about Armageddon. Or about the Malawi/Mexico hypocracy.
I left because as a witness in good standing, having pioneered, daughter of a supposedly well respected elder in our district, I was shunned by my husbands congregation because of the family I married in to. I was shunned by friends of mine and by friends of my parents.
I went to other congregations in the area, and was treated with a less than welcome attitude.
I did not have the attitude that "I am an elder's daughter therefore ...." I simply wanted to be treated as a person and full member of the congregation.
I just couldn't stand the shunning, the hypocrasy, the lies in the face of the "truth" anymore. I found no respect from them and lost any respect I had for them.
It was later that I heard about Ray Franz disfellowshipping. Ray Franz! OMG!
It was later that I realized the BS associated with 1975, and later the generation thing was all a lie.
It was in the last couple years I found out about the UN scandal. OMG! The WTBTS in bed with the Whore's Beaste? (Isn't that called beastiality?)
Now there is nothing that comes out of the WTBTS that I can believe. They have proven themselves false prophets and even worse, Pharases allowing money changers in the temples.
And they haven't a clue as to what love, respect, and responsibility is about.
