  So if you still believe in god how can you stay when he says 'Get out of her my people...'

  so many of us now realise that the wtbs is a false religion.

  but for those who haven't left or been dad or dfd, how can you stay?

  ok, if you've lost your belief in god and are staying for family/friends etc, but, if you do want to preserve a relationship with your god, how can you stay knowing how he feels about false religion?

  there's quite a few newbies around lately, and often struggling to envision a life after the wtbs.

  maybe if we share a little about how we're doing we can provide reassurance and hope?.

  me, i'm doing just fine.
