Good luck! Keep doing your research, I think a lot of us left feeling like "Well, they're nice people, it's just not for me". Then we learned about the lies that have been being told for over 100 years and the amount of people who have lost their lives because of doctrine that was made up. THAT'S why we get upset. Most here do believe they are a cult, and most cult experts will agree. It's a scary/hard thing to hear, I know...I was born in, hearing it refered to as a cult did hurt and it did take a bit before I could see that.

Do you need to DA, or can you just fade like so many have done? Are you going to be allowed to live at home if you DA? Plus, as so many said...you don't NEED to DA. That's THEIR rule, and they have absolutely no control over you or your life.

Again, good luck!
