Finding Freedom

Hello everyone, I just found this forum and I am in the process of leaving a local church. To address the original post, I do not have any written evidence of this belief that leaving "the church life" will bring about severely negative consequences to one's life but I am familiar with the concept that one's life will fall apart once you leave. I did not record these statements however but they made an impact on me personally. Over and over again I have been told my life is going to go downhill if I leave the fellowship. Over the past several weeks, I have quietly told people I am leaving and have been repeatedly told that I am leaving God's Will and Satan is attacking me and I will no longer know truth, etc. I have been asked if my lifestyle is changing or whether I was ever really a believer. It has been being told more psychologically related consequences rather than something like being killed physically, more like being told I am going to die spiritually.
