    See I got you to share some info with us. I was not born in either I came in when I was 14 and got baptized when i was 18, I really believed it, I was a pioneer, I gave last minute talks I was always there and well here I am now, I have not Daed myself and they have no grounds to DF me. So what was the thing that made you come in? For me it was the idea that God would put an end to all suffering. Boy is he taking his time.

    I was a bit low when the jws came a - knocking, and I was attracted by the promise of the new system, it just had to be better than the life I had then. I went to a meeting, got the usual love bombing, started a study, and went on from there. I didn't really believe in God until then, and I don't now, but what they taught seemed to make so much sense at the time, and I fell for it totally. I really believed it all, and changed my lifestyle completely. I quit smoking, hardly drank and generally tried to live as a good jw should, so I suppose there were benefits to being in, although towards the end of my jw life I did start to have the odd cigarette again and go out drinking more. I smoke now, a little more than occasionally. I did try to quit a short time ago, but didn't make it, not enough willpower I guess.
