I agree--they never even consider that some of us have to leave because of our "good conscience".
I could no longer "in good conscience" represent these untruths to the public, could no longer "in good conscience" distribute literature that I knew included falsehoods.
Also, I would no longer submit myself to the control and domination of men who called themselves "elders", but who were untrained in pastoral counselling, and whose counsel was sometimes more harmful than helpful. I needed no more of their "helpful counsel".
