My loved one has seen the truth and has left the WMS. Besides the phone calls trying to get her to come back in for one more study, or the promise that all of her questions will be answered no one will talk to us. People who acted like they were her friends or like they cared about her don’t answer our texts, return our phone calls, or respond to our emails. I’ve heard many stories now from former members about rumors being spread about them. I personally spoke with a missionary from San Diego once who promised to call me back with answers to my questions. She never called me back but she did try to put more division between me and my loved one. Not Christian in attitude or action at all. Is anyone able to leave this group without things being said like, “She’s been mislead by Satan, or her faith was weak?” Why can’t any of these so called friends who supposedly care and love so much just talk to us about why we no longer believe the WMS teachings?

Oh Shimon! Why would you do things based off the WMC “opinion” Why wouldn’t you do honest research for yourself to know what is true, not just because “they” tell you so. Like you just stated that’s their opinion not a fact!
please don't twist my words it is disingenuous
I’m not twisting your words, it’s what you wrote plain as day!
No you are twisting my words. I never said it is not fact, neither did I say it was my actions.
You said, “And obviously we are going to act of WMC OPINION”! When you state “we” the way you did it includes yourself. And if something is an opinion( beliefs or judgements) its not a fact! Once you prove it then it will be a fact!
Actually a fact is a fact proven or unproven believed by none or all.
Considering I clearly did not take the action in place I was using we in a different manner.
I don’t know if you’ve taking the action or not, so when say “we” unless you specify that you yourself don’t believe this opinion it suggest that you include yourself in the”we”. And just because you’ve never taking the action doesn’t mean you don’t believe it!

Yes this is true but it would be clear that from WMC opinion it is not. And obviously we are going to act of WMC opinion.
Why would you "act of WMC opinion"? Do you make all of your major decisions based on WMC opinion? What if you found out that their opinion was wrong?
I was answering the question, “how do you respectfully leave…” I’m not leaving. But if I didn’t want to be apart of anything, not just church, I would use that response as a guideline. =)

Then I would act accordingly

I said we because it is still my church.
So you do you or don’t you believe it’s leading ppl to hell?
Joshua:
Your style of response is very ________. I can't find the word right now but here's what I'm trying to say. Instead of deleting and retyping your question, you made it a point to ask "do you" and then add, "let me rephrase.. what". I can understand saying this in person because one cannot simply delete what comes out of one's mouth. But in text, you can.
Anywho, my concerns? Well, the arranged marraiges. The bible studies that I have been denied. The world not ending in 1988. These are just a few.
When I left the church I only talked to one member about it and it was like talking to a brick wall. I have not talked to any one else about it I just left or you might say vanished. I was receiving 10 to 20 hang up calls a day up until about a month ago on my voice mail which I would have to delete when I got home from work. I never answer the phone anymore when I am home because I still don't feel like talking to members about why I left and I don't think it would do any good. I have been reading this sight for awhile but would not when I was going to the church of god because we were told not to because it was like eating from the tree of good and evil. At least thats how I think they described trolling on the enternet or somthing like that. I know I must of known Simon or at least seen him at the church while I was there but don't really know who he is. I don't hardley even prey or talk to God anymore I am just at a loss and very disapointed by this experience. I don't spell very well so sorry for the bad grammer and spelling.
