Renouncing religious affiliation.

[Monica]

Monica, that was a great in depth account of your experience.

Thanks. I made a lot of mistakes but also learned a lot and a lot of good came from it.

Once I left, even though I had friends there, I haven't heard a word since from any of the members. So a striking contrast from Monica's experience.

The experiences I mentioned were with people I either met later, or to whom I had communicated the changes in my beliefs. Of those at the Bible study group, only one seemed to notice that I'd left and begged me to not fall into the 'New Age pit of lies and deceit.' Most probably just assumed that I'd found a different place to fellowship.
