about someone who leaves the organization - "they know it's the truth". However, I never hear them say about the person that left that "they just don't believe we have the truth".
Why is that?

As with all cults. this incomprehensible to have thought other than the ones you are programmed to have.......
I have posted similar questions, and the Witness answer is:People who leave know that it is the truth, and can't live by the rules ( want to be immoral) - or - they know it is the truth and are apostate and trying to deceive the young witnesses.
I left the falsehood of the Governing body and God showed me what real light is...and do you know what...God's Light never changes or needs to be rewritten!
There are not many out there who have studied both sides of What the Witnesses believe and what the Gospel teaches and done the research that I have done to de-program and come out on the side of Gods truth.

Because you have never heard it does not mean it has not been said. I have said it and will say so again if that is your wish. Some people leave because they do not believe we have the truth. Some people leave because they no longer believe we have the truth, although they once did. Some people even leave because they have heard us called a cult so many times that they finally accept it. How easy it is to call someone names; attach to them labels. They stick. I am reminded of the words of one well-known criminal: "By clever and persevering use of propaganda, even hell can be represented as heaven to the people and conversely the most wretched conditions as paradise." Say something over and over again, say it long enough and loud enough, say it with enough zeal and force and, though it may be a lie, it will be accepted by some as truth. Though it may be truth, it will be dismissed by some as a lie. Propagandists succeed and propagandists fail.
The fact is, people leave for varying reasons. I have heard many of them. I have even been told by some who have left: "I know this is the truth but it is not for me. I don't want to live this way."
But again, I tell you, yes, some people leave because they do not believe it is the truth. By the way, the above quote is from Adolph Hitler.

Simple, they don´t believe what Jesus Christ will do in the near future with this planet under the kingdom of God, transform this planet in a great place to live and plenty of perfects humans without sins and illness, the only religious organization that is preaching that message, some people believe in the power of God and in the good intention of Jesus Christ others don´t.

Because all JW's believe they have the truth! THey are brainwashed into thinking that everyone else is wrong. They can't imagine that they are in fact the ones that have a false belief.
