Hi KC! I left about 2 1/2 years ago... and was also "on the fence" for about 1 1/2 years. What made me leave... reading the truth on the exmember's sites.

I was so shocked to read the truth and so humiliated to have been so gung-ho about the Family's beliefs and lifestyle for 28 years!!!!

Thank God for the support and friendship these boards provide. There are 2 other active sites for first-generation folks:

There is quite a bit to read, so take your time and make friends with your fellow exers. We all share a common history and it's something that only exers can really understand.

Please write us more about yourself and what brought you to finally cut the ties with The Family.

Enjoy your freedom!
