Non-Believer Former Members of the Worldwide Church of God

Thank you for opening this forum for former WCG members. I am Walter from Durban, South Africa. i was not raised in the church but had interest in it from 1986. I was 19 years old then and now 41, single (still) like many former friends in the church, who “put the church first before their lives.” Whenever i think about this, tears just pour all over my face. I left the church in 2002 after those final “changes” you know about. My heart is still with those friends in that cage. I know they moved on, but I have lost them. They were my only people and friends I could relate to in the world. I am still struggling to form lasting friendships even now. After leaving the church I decided to read many non-religious books as much as I could until I could tell my self that I am no longer a Christian anymore “after so much disappointment” in my life.
