How did you tell your loved ones about your no longer going to church?

I quit going about a year ago. I just could no longer sit there and listen to the things they were preaching. When the Lord led me to BT web site, I wasn't even half way down the first series of the Lake of fire series when I realized that everything I had been taught was a lie. Literally every single doctrine that I believed in ALL changed in just a couple days. But I believe God was laying the ground work before he even sent me to BT web site. I had for years been questioning certain things that just didn't set right with me. These questions I didn't dare ask anyone cause I really felt like I wouldn't get an honest answer without them (pastor) telling me there is no such thing as eternal torment. But for a long time I ignored these questions that played in my mind. Then I was directed to BT web site (out of the blue) by a friend. Then that's when everything I pondered was true. There is no hell. But when I had to explain all this to my wife, she thought I lost my mind. My sister even told my wife I had a demon when they discussed it. But NOW, after about 14 months of CONSTANT seeking, and explaining to my wife, she is FINALLY getting it, and understands why I refuse to go back to church. Though my wife isn't word savvy, she at least knows that hell as traditionally taught is a lie, free will, immortality is a lie, and many more. My advice is to get DEEP into studying and then when your fully prepared, sit down with her and explain all that you have gotten a revelation of. If it is God's will to open some truths to her then God will be the only one who can do that. Just plant the seed.

"immortality is a lie"
Phillip I hope this is not a lie. Maybe just a typo. Paul taught us that, without the hope of the resurrection when mortality will put on immortality, we have nothing.
Good to hear you and your wife are seeing the Light, the Truth and the Way.

Dave in Tenn:
I'm sure Phillip meant the church doctrine of the "immortal soul", which stands in direct conflict with the truth of resurrection. 

Phillip, I'm not married, but I identify very much with what you've shared about yourself and coming to truth. 

phillip78:
Yes. The doctrine of man having a immortal soul. Ecc 9:5 The dead know not anything.
