Not everyone left the JW Org for the same reason...Why did you leave?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
some left because they couldn't follow the pace.

some left because they knew they were living a double life.. some left because they rathered live a life of sin.. and some left because they considered it a cult.. i stopped going because i was unable to keep up with all their demands and expectations, and i found them too controling.

also because they cover their past and give false hope for the near future.. why did you leave?.

i realize this is totally context and culturally dependent, but the old toronto jw youth scene was quite wild during the years 1984-1994. .

one example, a group of about 40 jw kids would go up to a ski resort (usually mount st.louis/moonstone or blue mountain) over the x-mas week-end.

one year we rented out a block of rooms in a resort close to the ski lodge.

unlike those of you who made the choice to drift or fade away, i was df'd a few years ago and, at the time, i thought i would return.

with the passing of time, i am realizing that going back for the sake of mending family bonds is not a good enough reason to go back.

but my family has been holding out the hope that i will return.
