I came in at 13-yrs-old and left at 24. I always had good childhood memories of life before (all of the family together for Christmas and B'days,ect). Even though I became a "good little witness" and made them my new "family" (disgusts me now), in the back of my mind I alway had those fond memories. So, it was easier for me to leave than for some.
How many JW that are not raised in the truth have left the organization?

wow.....some of you have spent some "long in the tooth" years being a JW. I guess I didn't really "sound it down" into my heart as I was baptised in late 1990. By the middle of 1993, I was already convinced that it was all bullshit and that I'd been had. All of the changes I've seen in the last 18 years coupled with the extreme hypocritical actions of JW relatives and their idolatrous veneration of the FDS and the WT confirmed it.
