The problem is when you're born and raised in a life, and know absolutely nothing else, you're not going to take well to somebody telling you its time to leave it all behind. All your friends, your entire social life, some of your beliefs, etc.
I've expressed my views to my girlfriend many times before about problems I have had with how certain things have done. It's different now because I'm not just sharing with her my distastes with certain aspects of the LC, I would be sharing that I want to leave, period.
It is different this time because I've started reading about all the cult-accusations online and controversies regarding Witness Lee and LSM. Up until a few days ago, yeah I had grievances with the LC and felt uncomfortable with some of the practices. BUT I chalked it up as being new to religion in general and that is was just a few bad people involved with my locality.
I've now been researching the "denomination" online and its not JUST church in general and its not just my locality. I've read testimonies all over the web, not just this site, about people leaving the LC for MANY reasons. Maybe I'm wrong, but you can't just sit down somebody and tell them in one sitting that their
entire life has been lived in such a flawed organization.
I've been praying a lot these past couple days and appreciate all the prayers and advice I've had on this thread.
Maybe I'm overcomplicating this, but I'm really worried about going from 0-100.
