The answer to the questions is simple.
No. It would not be worth it.
However, your question is exactly like this one.
Jehovah decides to come to earth and kill all Jehovah's Witnesses because of the terrible reproach that they have heaped upon his name. Now, the question is: Was all the temporary joy you felt, giving talks and going out in service and feeling like you were doing the right thing worth it?
Think.

If you were for real, you wouldn't talk like you do. My guess is that you are a boring pimple faced goofball who likes to make himself laugh for your own amusement. (i.e. "HAHA! Look! I got apostates upset! LOL!")

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT THE TRUTH?
Left it? I found it and that's why I won't gp back.
WOULD EVERYTHING GAINED (temporary) ENJOYMENT WORTH IT?
Temporary? Who says a real education is temporary? Who says freedom from mind control is temporary? I definitely believe it is worth every agonizing day in the beginning.
Leaving the WTS isn't easy. It is the "road less traveled". The narrow path. While the WTS declares its ever growing expansion it declres that it is not on the narrow path.
Your questions to jookbear
YOU ARE SAVING THEM FROM WHAT AND LEADING TO WHAT? EVERYTHING IVE HEARD SO FAR AS THE REASON FOR LEAVING IS TO DO WHAT THE WANT LIFESTYLE WISE. AM I WRONG? JUST CURIOUS WHO DO YOU ALL PRAY TO NOW AND IN WHOSE NAME AND WHO ANSWERS ?JOOKBEARD
In my life there is nothing wrong. In fact there isn't anything in my lifestyle that a bunch of elders could complain about -- except that I no longer believe what the WTS teaches. Who I look to, pray to, look for answers to, is personal. And it certainly has nothing to do with the dictates of a bunch of men that don't live in the real world.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION; Typing in all caps is rude and denotes screaming at your readers.

"Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness" - MT 7:22,23

Only left lies, lack of love, lack of joy, and lack of peace.
Found simple truth, more love, joy, and peace from within and out.

Awakened at Gilead
I hope to have some somewhat permanent enjoyment of life, after I get my master's degree and can afford to live without depending on my welfare check and the kind friends from the congregation helping a humble pioneer.
