When I was newer, I got a lot of psychic harassment from the enemy. Sometimes people pray for you (alone or in groups) if you had once gone to church and don't go anymore. They notice your absence and want you back. Sometimes it's peer pressure from family, xian friends, people you used to hang out with who are xian. These are just a few reasons why people leave; because they get so much harassment and don't get any peace from xians. The pressure is so high; and people, if not strong-willed, may bend from that pressure.
Those are my thoughts, although others may have different things to say about this thread's queries.
I almost left Satanism a few times for the first few years I was dedicated. I walked in circles and off the narrow path.
In my heart I never left Satan though. I always loved and continue to love Him. Therein lies the difference: the Gods knew this and guided me back to Spiritual Satanism, to the JoS Groups and back to meditation and building a strong relationship with my Guardians and with Satan.
People who dedicate to Satan; meditate; see, hear and experience things with the Powers of Hell, and then leave (hopefully briefly) may find their way back to Him and to Satanism if their heart has not wavered in trust and love for Him. The Gods guide us back.
The Gods never left me when I was wandering, but They left me alone to learn for myself. I saw that all these Pagan or other occult paths were corrupted severely, taught enemy teachings (New Age stuff) or was watered down.
A lot of them dealt with enemy spirits that the practitioners thought were Gods or human-friendly spirits. From their blogs I could tell that they were of the enemy (the spirits that they interacted with), from the experiences they wrote about.
In my personal opinion, what you put in is what you get out of Spiritual Satanism.
If you don't meditate, don't study, don't participate in spiritual warfare, and don't build strong relationships with Satan and our Guardians, then it's possible you"ll get bored and listless and float off into the ocean of RHP (Right Hand Path) or other corrupted LHP (Left Hand Path) bullshit that is out there. And there's a lot of it out there.
Some people leave because they are curious about what's out there. I did this before, although I still read the posts in the groups and the sermons from the JoS clergy. I picked up knowledge and applied it, and became more (mentally) well-rounded overall, lol.
I don't recommend leaving Spiritual Satanism to learn about other religions or Pagan paths though. I do regret the amount of time I spent outside of SS a few years ago. I spent more time dabbling and learning about other Pagan and occult paths. Now I am more serious about Spiritual Satanism. And I hope to catch up where I missed out, concerning meditation and knowledge. Although that cannot be rushed.

if someone learned about satanism and went through the motions, the dedication, the training. Then suddenly decided to leave? How does that make sense? I mean, they meet their guardian demon, other demons, actually FEEL their own energy and just decide its false? because i've heard people leaving satanism, i've seen posts with my own eyes about people losing their confidence and talk about leaving, like what the fuck do you do after you've seen so much? no, what CAN you do after this? go back to christianity? HA, maybe start your own sect of buddhism or be a hermit or some shit, but a guy has got to be reeeeally low to go back to christianity.the only reason i can think of someone leaving satanism is like some psychic attacks from the enemy of some sort, because i would assume on their own, literally no one would just have the thought on their own to leave. Even me, and im pretty spiritually weak....but then that also means im more vulnerable to psychic attacks. Sudden realization: i should get my shit together haha....but then again, im more likely to get a psychic attack only if im spiritually stronger because im more likely to be sensed. So am i winning or losing? Dont answer that, i fully intend to get stronger anyway. I didnt dedicate just to dip my toes in magic and have the occasional wank.
