My husband were witnesses for 25 years. My son SOL, proved to me that this religion was a cult. He showed me Franzes books and I sat in on his mock disfellowshiping trial that he did to prove that you can be removed for asking questions. We recorded the whole thing and I told the committee of 6 elders that they were just like the mofia for disfellowshipping someone for not thinking the same way that they do or questioning it. They admitted that disfellowshipping is the same as putting someone to death. So I said since they were threatening to put to death and hurt his family members by not allowing fellowship that they were no better than the mofia. The Canadian Bethel contacted my elders and warned them that I was dangerous and not to talk to me about what happened in Canada. They removed my husband off all his priveledges and refused to answer my comments without even meeting with me. I've been out for a couple years now. I'm feeling so much healthier, physically and emotionally. It was tough at first, took counselling which helped a lot. Resent all the years I spent studying and pioneering, could have had my masters by now. Am too old now to do a lot of things I wanted to but I've finally found something to throw myself into and that's to be a dog trainer.
