For me, it was the UN debacle. Their association and weak retreat was priceless. After that, Silentlambs ranks right up there.
Of course, if it were not for Ray Franz, many of us would've never even thought about leaving!

Yeah the UN scandal ranks up there pretty high. However I always like to point out the fact that they say Christ is only the mediator for the 144,000. Even though the bible clearly states that he is the mediator for everyone. The sad part is 99% of JW's don't even realize that their own religion preaches this. It's real easy to have them show you in the bible where it says that Jesus is our mediator, then pull out some of the Watchtower's that show what they really preach.
Ray Franz's," Crises of Conscience" followed by," In Search of Christian Freedom." Others, Silent Lambs, Child Abuse, Blood changes, Generation change, UN scandal and now the 1935 door still opened.

Lack of love in the organization.
It was the child abuse and UN scandals that outraged me, but it was the lack of love that made me receptive to investigating the scandals further instead of just dismissing them as "apostate propaganda".
