    1. yes since the age of 5 or so.

    2. half and half. my mother was the only JW in my family and my dad didn't really care. I went to the meetings but never got baptized or spoke at the door, etc, because too much of what was taught just never made sense and the people were too hypocritical. I can't sell someone something I don't believe in myself.

    3. apathetic overall, but if had to put myself in a category would be atheist. Religion just doesn't interest me (it never did) and bores the hell out of me.

    I was raised in by theocratic parents. I'm not exactly atheist. I'm pantheist/gnostic (generic gnostic, not the religion).
