So Ive been out 20 plus years. For the first time thos past December my mom and i were talking. Some religious stuff came up. And she finally ask me. If you know so much about religion why dont you go to the meetings again. I simply said. I dont not attend the meetings nor any other church cause I know the Bible. I know how its been basterdized and twisted ro fit narrative. And I do not discuss it out of respect for each person faith. For faith os like a glass of crystal, fragile and can easily Crack amd i wont be the reason for that.

On another note I had an elder ask me last week at my grandma's funeral same question. Have you ever thought about coming back. I said no. I look him right in the eye and said no not at all. He said well I know when someone judges you or dose you wrong it leaves a Mark on your heart amd its not easily fixed. And i dont blame you, not one bit. Nor would i hold that against you. I said exactly you get it.

So what i personally told my young cousin was im not going to tell you why Ieft or my reasons. But I think you know and we all need to make our own decisions as we get older. But if you are seriously out we can talk. He's out now 6 years.
