Someone recently wrote the stages.. Denial (that EGW was false) and some other ones.

Does anyone know where I can find this again?

Thanks,
Tracey

Tracey,
I did a search on "stages" and found this post by Colleen:

I like what Diana said above about going through a grieving process. Leaving Adventism, for most os us, involves exactly that. It is a loss of identity, a loss of lifestyle, a loss of family and community. It is a loss of core beliefs. The process of grief includes five stages, and people move back and forth among those stages for months or even a a few years. they include (I hope I can remember them all!) denial, bargaining, anger, depression, and acceptance.



Is that what you're looking for?

Tracy, I don't know if this would be helpful to you or not, but here's another way to look at it. By stage 6, it's said you've reached a point of "no return." You can see where the stages of grief mesh together with this viewpoint. I've posted this before, but it was before you joined us.

1. doubt--To be undecided or skeptical about; to tend to disbelieve; distrust; to regard as unlikely

2. disappointment--defeat or failure of expectation or hope; a feeling of dissatisfaction that results when your expectations are not realized

3. disillusionment--freeing from false belief or illusions; the condition or fact of being disenchanted

4. disdain--To regard or treat with haughty contempt; despise

5. distancing--Emotional separateness or reserve; aloofness.

6. disaffection--To cause to lose affection or loyalty; the feeling of being alienated from other people

7. dissolution--Annulment or termination of a formal or legal bond, tie, or contract.
