Here's my list:
1) It's a very scary place (the people appear to be...I don't know...brainwashed? mind-controlled? zombie-like? weird? demonized?)
2) I've gotten used to thinking on my own
3) I've gotten used to sleeping in on Sunday mornings
4) I'd have to purchase a new 4-door sedan
5) I would die an early death due to boredom

I always thought their eyes looked vacant, like there was nothing behind them.

I Would NEVER Go Back To The "Truth" because:
I enjoy independent thinking.
I hate the loaded language, calling each other Brother Smith and Sister Jones. It's just
John and Jane.
there really is a hierarchy, and I truly hated having my butt kissed and kissing others' just the same.
I already finished reading at an eight-year-old level.
weekends were made for having fun and getting personal errands finished.
I would be expected to wear a tie.
the "Truth" I learned was different from the "truth" my mother learned, and it is different again from
the "truth" being taught to new ones, today. I was left behind by 1995.
the elders really aren't good at what they are supposed to do.
field service; I think those two words say it all.
Because now I know the "truth" is really a lie and Jesus has set me free. Lilly
Reasons: Who is Jehovah that I should worship him? Who is Jesus that I should put faith in him? Who or What is The Holy Spirit, Person or Inactive Force that I should rely on It / Him?
What Is "TRUTH"? There are many more reasons, these are the most important ones to me.

Leader's (GB) never accepting responsibility for errors yet demanding total compliance and obedience to rules.
I would rather poke my eyes out than have to sit through even one meeting.
Let me add one more:
Because I would rather die at Armageddon than shun and disown my precious children and my most precious grand babies.
Because I could never read these Minimus Threads and I would have to shun
all these wonderful people here.
