The question might also be put: Is there anything that might compel you to come back? For example, what would you do if circumstances convinced you that Armageddon was suddenly coming about? Many religions teach that there will come a time of tribulation. Would you have any doubts about your decision if the Earth began quaking and the sky darkened and buildings began falling?

I don know what JWs think is going to happen at Armageddon, but could things become so bad that you might go running back to your old beliefs if the situation warranted it? The leadership, after all, uses fear to manipulate its following.
