My mother began studying when I was 13. I rebelled against it for a while but finally was thoroughly indoctrinated and baptized at 15. Left at 22.

Converted from agnosticism in 1973 at 22. Escaped in 2001. Finally figured it out in 2002 with the help of Ray's books. Back to agnosticism, 30 years later. Amazing what a well-executed con game can take away from you. Compared to all the years and emotional energy, losing even a million dollars would seem like nothing.

For those of us who converted, I think it is a bit more humiliating when you finally figure it out. Being raised in it really is an "excuse", cause you didn't have a choice. We did. And we chose it. Egad! I need to go think about something else. Could somebody roll a joint?

I came in at the age of 18 due to my mother who was studying with them at the time. She brought them into our family but funnily enough she never got baptised or went as far as preaching for them. To this day she is not sure if they are in the right or in the wrong.

Born in, I NEVER would have converted!
