This is my 1st post in GSC. I must say I am thankful it is here and serves a purpose. I left TWI about 3 mnths ago after 24 yrs. It was once I learned about leadership and what they have done in the past to people that got me out. I am a loyal person but finally got to the point of not being able to support an organization that uses people. Our FC were great but ? our dedication to TWI because we were busy with our children's activities and were not going to be involved in the new class. I guess the reason I am posting here is going through the emotions of being ashamed and how stupid I could have been to be involved with TWI for all those years. I guess part of the reason was that I didn't know any other religion or church before getting involved. I was wary to start off with, knowing some other religious organizations are hypocritical. Then seeing in TWI made me leave, I was blinded not to have seen it earlier. Now here I am in mid forties starting over again trying to set things up properly. I also am confused as to what to believe is right doctrine and wrong. I am over the aspect of looking over my shoulder to make sure the devil isn't going to strike me dead???. If there is any body out there that has gone through similar emotions feel free to contact me. Again thanks for all those that post here, I am sure there are many that read and don't post but have same thoughts that I have had.
