Since you asked the question I’ll tell you. When I explain my reasons for leaving the Witness’s to people I simply tell them that I know longer agreed with/believed their faith. I don’t find it necessary to itemize our points of contention.

Let’s say you have an ex-girlfriend (I’m assuming your a guy and if not I apologize). If somebody says to you, “Why did you and ____ break up?” do you say something nice like, “We weren’t right for each other” or do you start listing everything you thought wrong with that person? If you start listing everything you thought wrong with them, then that IS running them down. Same thing with religious faith.

You are really quite shallow.

Giving Glory and Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ is not
being negative. Trying in this way to reach other lost
souls is not negative.
I am thankful for the testimony and that she persisted in finding the simple truth that our God died for us the lowest of sinners. That is what so many of us consider ourselves. We have a heavenly Father who guides us with the Holy Spirit and His Word.
I praise my Lord and thank Him for this Resurrection Day to celebrate His love and His Salvation to me.

To understand the Light one has found, they must sometimes testify about the shadows from whence they came....

I’m sure that you don’t mean to sound judgemental...Do you?

The fate of one’s immortal soul, and of the souls of one neighbors, is a far more crucial matter than describing the character of a former girl friend.

That’s a really lame comparison. I see I’m not the only one who thinks so.
This is not like a Ford/Chevy rivalry. We’re talking about eternal life and truth here.
