Raised in the religion by my mother, my father was not, in fact he was against it. He just worked a lot and this gave plenty of time for my mom to turn us against him.
Another poll: raised in or came in?

My grandmother began studying with the International Bible Students, I think that’s what they were if I remember correct, my mother was raised in it and brought my father into it, married, then my brother and I were born into it.

I am shocked that almost all responses are from raised people, or are all the converts too ashamed to answer?

Would anyone that converted like to buy a bridge?
Back to the subject, I was born in but left at 15 for two years then went back when I ended up working with a brother.

Unc, you're so strict!
Dr., I would probably have bought that bridge back then (if I'd had the money). I was not only gullible but I had an almost unnatural desire not to disappoint people...and I really loved the woman who studied with me.
