Because of leaving a abusive marriage. My daughter and I walked out about 1996. I whispered to her "are you hungry?. We both walked out and left our books on the seat to the parking lot. Drove away and had a good breakfast. The next day I took my book bag dress suits ties ETC to the Good Will. Then later that week I shot the watchtower books in the forest with my firearms. It was a very good feeling!
When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

4 years ago, after I was asked by two loving elders to choose between music and my place in the organisation.

40 years ago, couldn't stand the lies and corruption coming out of the Watchtower Corporation.
40 years latter on its still a false prophet apostate religoius publishing house. (JWorg.)
Hearing about the deaths of people from refusing a blood transfusions or suicides makes me both sad and angry.
This organization made by men for men has killed thousands and it certainly isn't gods chosen organization by a long shot

Number 6
My first wife left not long after we were married 30 years ago. I was initially in a lot of guilt but stopped going because she did within a few months in early 1991.
For the next 10 years I lived in mortal fear of the big A.but in 2000 got on line and the rest is history.
The only connection I still have is my mother who si PIMI but does the congnitive dissonance thing and still associates with me and my second wife (who was never a JW).
I have blatantly told my mother if she ever choses her religion over he family her feet won't touch the floor on the way out. The loss will be entirely hers.
She still keeps coming.

I don't remember exactly when it was, 20 or so years ago, but my story is a bit spirtual. I am DFed and in an effort to go back I decided to "make the truth my own". In an effort to accomplish that I decided to really study the creation book looking up the references at the library. Just as I was coming to the realization that the creation book was full of it, not one, not two but the next three Sunday public talks were the exact same talk on creation. That was the last meeting I ever went to.

In the summer of 2019, the congregation that my wife and I attended was merging with another at the Hall. And another congregation at a different Hall was going to start meeting at the Hall at a different time slot to put that Hall up for sale. I had mentioned to her that many Kingdom Halls were being put up for sale to raise money for the lawsuits they had lost. She said I was talking against the organization like an apostate. (We did just have the Watchtower study about child abuse allegations). She then separated from me and left and when many states away to here mothers and sister's. She even had the blessing of the elders for that saying that I was a spiritual danger.
I didn't want people to ask me where my wife was, so I went to the other congregation as they had the meeting schedule that we had prior. After the mergers of 3 congregations to 2, both Sunday and midweek meetings were too full and the parking lots were full. I stopped going all together as I fell through the cracks as there were too many people to notice. Then when the shutdown occurred in March 2020, I checked on here and asked around online and learned of the zoom meetings and cancelations of meetings and assemblies. Once a month I would connect to my dad's zoom meetings. I did that to see old friends from when I grew up. Though I would multitask while doing that and listen to other things. And recently I got a phone call from an elder, one of the ones my wife had talked to trying to arrange a phone call to talk. I blocked his number. A year and a half and now they reach out. The are no shepherds of the flock.

Overrated
After my divorce, I moved back with my parents, who insisted that Ineed to get busy with the Gee-hovah thing. After meeting with the elders ( mistake to go them for anything) I was told that I can't remarry anyone because my divorce was not legal in God's eyes( Watchtower 's) even if my divorce is legal by the land. On top of that, I started to take classes, but some crying elder didn't like that. My parents where forced, I was forced to either go to meetings or find my own place to live. Walked out of the tooth, my parent's life after that. I'm happly remarried and free from Watchtower.

I last went to that abomination in June 2005 for some token field circus, and didn't even bother going back to report that waste of time. And, instead of pretending to accept that jesus thing, I openly rejected that thing in 2006 by buying a Ouija board instead of going to that wastefest.
