Yes - welcome! I also had this same, simple question.

Brothers,
This post from nwolfe85! was from well over 2 years ago. (August 2017) Maybe someone could PM him to see how he is doing. He did mention in his opening post that he was raised in the Local Church, but does not consider himself a Christian anymore. He was open to dialog, at least at that time.

Opps! Yes . . . I didn't notice the date - just saw someone responded to it today. Thanks for pointing that out.

As I read these testimonies I wonder, how many "church kids" not only physically left the LC but then denied the Christian faith in toto? I suspect the percentage who became atheist or agnostic after leaving is rather high, even shockingly high. We have 10 years of datum on this forum. I've never counted, but believe it's considerable.

And I also believe it's because the most effective way they know to shut off the Witness Lee Mind Conditioning Programme (WLMCP) is to leave the Christian faith. The first has so thoroughly insinuated itself, through the second, that they let go of both to regain independent function in their minds. And one can hardly blame them.

In my case, I had a "Christian base" to fall back upon, when I could raise myself up somewhat from the dust, post-LC. To most "church kids" it's the WLMCP or nothing, and they choose nothing.
