Yep puddington is exactly right. And if you remain--you are sending the wrong message to the ones on the inside that you may be wanting to help or be there for even knowing what you know. It is a hard thing to walk away but it is the only message you can send.
You will find freedom in your mind and people who have shared your experience--walk away--if no one calls you or you are shunned--they were never your friends anyway. And you can't go to others in the church and even bring up your questions--it will mark you and possibly the very people you want to help will be pulled in deeper--given a position or have smoke blown up their ass for exposing you--because they will. It is automatic now--no need to take orders--orders were implanted so long ago--and you need to have credibility that you did not want to cause trouble or division. You will be more respected--well --that is-- after you have been trashed, lied about and shunned. Just leave and don't say a word--silence is golden and actions speak louder than words.
