The one that comes closes is number 2, I left because I felt spiritually stagnant and needed to move on.

28The three reasons we leave the "Truth"
by sleepy inseems to me there are mainly three roads most of us have taken.
1.we did something "wrong" and were disfellowshipped and after felt able to look at the society in a different light.. 2.we didn't like the "truth" and were looking for a way out.. 3.we wanted it to be the truth but were overcome by the mountain of evidence against it.. which is the most common i wonder.. also do our motives play a large part in how we deal with information criticising the org.. without a reason to act information seems useless.. for instance if a person feels he has nothing to gain by leaving the org will he read different things into the same info as us?.
i think so and that all who leave must have a reason to do so, something to gain.. this does not make their reasoning wrong or prove they we are looking for just excuse.. but is a normal way in which humans deals with information.. two humans can have the same information but if they want or desire different things they may use the information differently.. maybe thats wht so many say "where else is there to go?

Is the Path to Salvation Clear?
by JosephAlward ininerrantists believe that every word in the bible is literally true; to believe otherwise, they say, is to remove the foundation upon which one may have a certain understanding of how one may achieve salvation and reach the kingdom of heaven.
that makes perfect sense, on one level.
if one could indeed know that everything in the bible is true, then one would just have to turn to the part where the method of salvation is described, do what the bible says, and live forever.

To answer your questions, "is the path to salvation clear?" Sure is. "Believe in the Lord Jesus."

Those are strong words Jav, but we understand your distaste for opposers and apostates. One sister I knew use to call them "bird food." As no doubt this will be one of the ways Jehovah rids the earth of their rotting corpse, the rest of their remains will no doubt be used as fertilizer.Aren't they just warm and loving Christians?

The JWs thought I was an interested person and would try to convert me. They always failed though.
Since we moved quite a few times since we left, none of the JW's in our area know us. ALthough I remember while on my route I was delivering mail ['m a Letter Carrier] I delivered a letter to my old CO, we even talked but he didn't recognize me with the beard.
No JW ever visits us twice, once I make a comment they deny ever happen, I take them to my library and their eyes opo out their as I show them from their own publications.
