The biggest thing that bothered me was the absolute power of the elders. You cant even appeal any decision they make except a disfellowshipping.
And that is just a formality most of the time.

Heavenly and Earthly hope no longer sits right with me.

The reason "wickedness continues to our day" is supposedly because Satan challenged God saying he could turn all mankind away from him so God needed to prove to his creation once and for all times that they couldn't manage without him. Then when things started taking shape, he brought the flood and wiped them all out, just to have it start all over again.
God isn't slow respecting his promises but wants all to attain righteousness. The longer he waits, the more people the JW's can save. Yet more and more people are being born every day that are obviously not paying any heed to JW's.

For me it was the 144,000 bit. I just could not make the number work. You had to believe that only 90,000 or so true Christians were chosen from 33 CE to 1935 CE? You just had to put that one on the back burner and go on to other things.

Creation caused problems. We were taught evolution at school. I trusted my teachers. Also, we went to Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History in New York. My father would never pay the fee. My bro and I would see all the other little kids going in. One day he treated us. It started with evolution. We had to leave.
So many science and history matters the WT differed from school, library, and museum.
