Why so many left?

If they DO love Jehovah and Jesus, where will they go?  Back again to non-biblical teachings such as hellfire and the trinity? (2 Peter 2:22)

Another sweeping generalization. Many of the ones who left retained Bible Student/JW beliefs on these. 

Also, you need to realize that Christians who advocate the Trinity and hellfire have scriptural texts to back them up and would argue that the JW views are non-biblical. It's a matter of perspective.

Otherwise, they would have stayed, as Simon Peter and the others did. (John 6:68)

Stayed 'where' or ... ?

John 6:68: Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. 

Do you see the difference? It's not a 'where' but a 'whom.' Religious organizations can come and go and veer off the rails. Christians believe God and His Son are constants through all that and they are the ones who can save a believer in the end - not an organization.

Makes no difference. They will still make mistakes, as did prophets of old.

FALSE prophets (of old and modern time) making "mistakes". Well, it makes huge difference. :))

Book Children 1941

Should men and women, both of whom are Jonadabs or "other sheep" of the Lord, now marry before Armageddon and bring forth children They may choose to do so, but the admonition or advice of the Scriptures appears to be against it. Being married before Armageddon and both continuing faithful and surviving Armageddon, their marital relationship shall continue and persist after Armageddon. They receive their right to life everlasting after Armageddon, and after receiving that right to life their children then born would be born in righteousness. Page 312

That would appear to indicate it would be proper that those who will form the"great multitude" should wait until after Armageddon to bring children into the world. Page 313

Watchtower magazine 1941

Cartons of Children that had been deposited in The Arena were now opened, and Judge Rutherford instructed the children how to come and each get a copy thereof, those in the rear half of The Arena marching in two columns out through a side exit, and those in the front half of The Arena marching up over the platform and out through a rear exit. As the march began, the orchestra (minus all its children instrumentalists) struck up and rendered songs, "Children of the Heavenly King," "The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon," and "Who Is on the Lord's Side'" while the vast audience sang. Never was there a more moving Sight in these "last days". Many, including strong men, wept at the demonstration. Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided Instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon. What a gift I and to so many! The manner of releasing the new book Children was an outnght surprise to all, but the almighty hand of the All-wise One, Jehovah, was in it, and the maneuver was most blessed indeed. Thereafter Children, the author's edition, was disposed of to adult conventioners, on a contribution.    September 15 Page 288
