Raised with the truth, the only son of three children...baptized way too young in 1977...was told to, otherwise I would die because the end is sooo near, right!!! I was married in 1990, divorced in 1999. She left me and the truth and was living the double life thing. I began to have issues with the whole in the truth your protected thing shortly after this all went down and was not impressed with the whole lack of support from the friends and family. I basically had to get through all of this alone. I basically gave up trying to endure in 2002 and have been slowly seeing that this is the best thing for me and I am really seeing life for what it really is. Currently I am single, I haven't been to a meeting since I gave up, and I work in the transportation field and also work in Information Technologies on the side. I take full credit for pulling myself out of a bad situation with the divorce and all the financial heartache I was left with. I'm proud to say that I am now set reasonably well financially, all due to my own efforts. My parents and family however feel that I am nothing without the truth, no matter what I accomplish...and I take issue with that. And yet these are loving christians. There are too many issues to talk about...I guess that is why I don't have anything to do with the truth anymore. I didn't get DF'd or DA'd...I just basically Faded to Black. Life is good without it, I see this more and more.
