    Would you agree that most people stay on as Witnesses--not because they are "true believers" but because they have no place else to go or they will risk losing their family and friends?

    that's the only reason i stayed, until i finally decided that if my family truly loved me like they said they did...they'd love me whether or not i was a dub....

    proved them wrong....

    That's why I tried to make a comeback or two. And yes, that's why I stayed longer than I wanted to.

    Family - yes. Anything for the family. To a point.

    In the end: Anything for sanity. Freedom. Unrestricted thought.

    Hm...contacts with family who are jws is mostly nil (except for the parental units who are now talking to me) and I had none who I would call my friends. So leaving was painless.
