Sounds familiar.
What insiders / members say in order to try and make sense of why you left. You left because someone offended you, you read some anti Mormon literature or the all too familiar one, you left because you wanted an easy way.
None of these reasons were correct. The
reason they left was because they wanted truth. They checked the history and found it (the fellowship) was not the truth.
You can relate this just as much to your own journey of leaving the 2x2s.

We were treated to all three of those. As well as "stopped praying" and "started own religion". Ditto. An apology for anything? h... NO.  |

I can relate to this, first when I left the Truth, and then later when I lost all my theists beliefs. People think it's because my faith was weak and they refuse to believe it could happen to them, even when one believed. I believed, yet it still happened to me. But I have heard a lot of the same things. Well you never understood the Truth when you were a member. Well you never understood Christianity when you were a believer. And of course I've heard many times that I wasn't a 'real Christian'. People seemed to think I was when I was. It was after I left that I became labelled as 'never a real christian'. |

Actually, NO ONE asked me anything!
They all knew damn well why! I left!
And I would NOT volunteer any information.
I knew very well how people were treated who had even tried to explain anything.
I also realized that the friends could not help me or even say anything that might help me for fear of themselves being retaliated against !
There is hierarchy of power among the workers themselves between one another.
Then that same absolute power is exercised over the friends.
Such a set up with that kind of absolute power in the hands of a few lends itself to all kinds of wrong doing!
When I realized THAT -why would I even want to be a part of such a group?

All religious groups exhibit the same behaviour.
That anyone believes in their nonsense is beyond me. It is irrational beyond belief.
