I want to stop emerging religions

I couldn't refuse my sister's invitation to join an emerging religion, so I joined that religion.
My older sister is now unsubscribed due to her husband's persuasion.
I also want to quit, but I can't ask to leave my membership because I'm indecisive and think that something unfortunate will happen.

My family at my parents' house is indebted to a nearby temple as a parishioner. When I was little, I was often allowed to go to that temple with my grandmother, and I remember being very indebted to them, having only really kind people eating meals and talking a lot.

I really want to go back to this temple filled with memories with my grandmother.
However, since my grandmother passed away, I almost never went to temples, and since I have joined an emerging religion once, I can't visit because I feel guilty.

My indecisiveness is really pathetic, and I'm full of sorry even though they made it better.

Even if the new religion were to be stopped, would it still be difficult to return to the original temple?

Nothing bad will happen because you stop it

Nothing bad will happen just because you have stopped believing and unsubscribed.
It means that your older sister has already unsubscribed, so I think it would be a good idea to discuss ways to unsubscribe without hesitation and use them as a reference.
There is nothing wrong with visiting a temple again once you have gone far away. It's not common for people to be rejected just because they are related to other purposes.
I don't think there's anything to worry about.

If you make up your mind

Thank you for your consultation.
If you want to stop, you can unsubscribe, and there won't be any events in the future that would cause you to worry about as a result, so it's fine.
I think you can continue your relationship with the temple itself without any problems, no matter what kind of situation you are in. If you discuss various things, they should be properly accepted.
Religion doesn't bind you; it supports you.

You want to reduce the number of daily distractions as much as possible, right?
Live a life that seems long but short, and move in the direction you want to go. clap hands.

Please don't worry

I read it.
I read that you want to quit an emerging religion.
Please don't worry. There is no problem at all if you quit like the other monks said. There's nothing wrong with going back to the temple, and there's nothing wrong with going back to the temple. Please don't worry.
Also, when you quit, I think it's preferable to go with your older sister or someone you trust if possible. If you make an offer to the other party that you want to quit, there is a possibility that they will be held back. I think it would be better for someone you can trust to go and watch over you in order to clearly communicate your intentions.
Also, if you clearly explain the circumstances up to now to the temple, they will surely be satisfied, so let's talk about it sincerely.
I sincerely pray to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors so that you will always cherish your relationships with your ancestors and everyone and live a healthy and safe life every day. We wholeheartedly agree

When I have a consultation, I have 90% made up my mind.

I understand that you have made a decision to consult with this site while causing a lot of worries to be lost.

As there have been responses from other monks, please unsubscribe from emerging religions as well.
Even if I go back to Danka-ji Temple near my parents' house, there are no problems, and I'm also relieved that they have come back so well, and there are times when they admonish me with a sense of mercy.

When people talk to others, 90 percent of their heart is determined to “do that,” but in most cases, they want to push their backs one more time and convince themselves.
All that's left is “mental courage (practice)” to take a step forward.

Think of feeling guilty as proof that you've grown. It's not a bad thing at all. People go through life while hesitating. Then you notice something important.

It's fine. Both the monks who haven't responded, and the people who are browsing on the internet want to take a step forward.
