for my kids. I had to know ASAP if it was the truth, as I would be teaching it to them and it would be their ENTIRE life! Needless to say, my boys saved me and they didn't have to do a thing.

Initially it was experiencing injustices towards me from elders giving me their own personal opinions as advice - as it went against what was in the Bible AND the WT publications. It convinced me right on the spot that they never had " holy spirit " - it was all a crock of $hit. And seeing other Witnesses suffer this abuse as well. But a few years AFTER I left my suspicions were confirmed after I started researching on the Internet and seeing the fallacy with the blood doctrine, the generation teaching, the faulty view of higher education, and the disgusting child abuse policies of the WT society. All of these things influenced me the most I'd say. Glad I left. Never been happier
