10 year anniversary of my departure

Hi, all. I left 10 years ago this month. Some Facebook "memories" popped up that reminded me of that fact, and I got quite emotional. I have to admit, I miss a lot of things about my time in the coc. I have never really felt like I "fit in" in any other church group ever since. I came back here (haven't participated on this site in probably 9 years) to remind me of some of the reasons I left, so that I would not talk myself into going back.
I was baptized as an adult and first started worshipping with an NI group, but spent several years in conservative-leaning "institutional" congregations before my eventual departure.
Hello to all.

Congrats on getting your 10 year pin. I've been out since 2005. Well, that's when we officially left but mentally I began my journey out of the c of c around 1999. Leaving for us was easier than I anticipated and I can honestly say I've never regretted leaving.
That is probably because we were Baptist. We became members of the c of c through a Bible study in 1978. I'm sure since we weren't born into the c of c and had no family members in it, that made it easier to leave.
