Which is greater, your time IN, or your time OUT?

Specifically, were you an active JW longer than you have been inactive or out of the organization, whichever applies? I was active for about 15 years, then faded into inactivity, although never DF'd or DA'd. Time out hasn't yet caught up with time in, but time out is gaining.

Time in was until 31 years of age, started first being irregular, then inactive, and slowly drifted away. Thus out is almost 8 years. During the last 8 years felt I needed to go back, because it must be 'the truth'! Now, hehe, I feel 'great' knowing it was mostly BS.

I was a baptized publisher for about 7 years (aged 15 - 22), but I was an unbaptized publisher for years before that, and dragged along from birth. I have been out for over 12 years. I am probably breaking even in terms of years putting in time.

I've almost achieved parity. I was an active jw from 1991 until 1999, baptised in 1992. I haven't been to kh since November 1999, so in just over a year I'll have been out as long as I was in.

Undecided

Almost equal, 35 in and out.

About 30 in as baptised member and close to 27 out.

I was an unbaptized publisher from age 4 to age 32. I was baptized at age 12 and disassociated myself at age 33.

So that is: Unbaptized publisher for 28 years, and baptized for 21 years.

And one year out.

I gor away rather lightly, was active only for one year and inactive for seven before handing in letter of disassociation.

In from about age 1 until age 24, baptized at 14. If we count from baptism date, I am 10 months shy of my time out equalling my time in, but a long way to go to be equal if we are counting from the time I was dragged into misery as a defenseless baby.
