One of my AHA moments came when I realized that I didn't feel i could speak honestly in testimony time. "They" wouldn't have accepted what I had to say. At the time I quit I had 4 very small children and alot of my testimonies were about parenting, and the spiritual aspects of raising kids.............I would have absolute clarity while meditating on my testimony at home, then be afraid to share once I got there....... you're a great momma !!! share your thoughts here. i see honesty in what you just said, thats a good testimony-

I had several AHA moments... but it's taken close to 8 years to finally be out and know that I'm not going back. First reason was the judgemental attitudes of many of the "friends" that I witnessed here. The self-righteous attitude IMO was sickening. The gossip is hurtful and I've had plenty of gossip spread about me that was untrue, unfounded and yet people would judge me because of the untruths. Second reason was the overwhelming fear. I realised that I didn't love God... I was outright terrifyingly SCARED of Him! Not a healthy way to live. Third was the explanation that was given to me that they were the ONLY way. All others were going to hell and eternal damnation. Fourth is I could see how many things were changing. There seemed to be no charity. The only people getting money was the workers - that money was not shared with people that were less fortunate. I saw a few poor people that suffered dreadfully - I don't think they're in the 2x2 church any longer. Yet my senior worker brother has the latest laptop computer, mobile phone, money galore and the latest gadgets. To me it just seems to wrong when they're meant to be "homeless" preachers with no worldly possessions. Fifth reason is I could finally see that I didn't know much about the Bible or God's words. I knew the "unspoken rules" of the workers... but that was about it. interesting ... AHA moments must be nice. never had one concerning the truth.....
