Would you agree that most people stay on as Witnesses--not because they are "true believers" but because they have no place else to go or they will risk losing their family and friends?

Family - yes. Anything for the family. To a point.
In the end: Anything for sanity. Freedom. Unrestricted thought.

Hm...contacts with family who are jws is mostly nil (except for the parental units who are now talking to me) and I had none who I would call my friends. So leaving was painless.
