  I am not a JW, but know several, and I am curious as to why adults get involved with the JWs. Any one have an answer from personal experience?

  I don't have an answer from personal experience (born in). They catch people at a low point in their lives and POUNCE. If you are poor and want out of life or have recently lost a loved one, you are toast. I've even seen them watch the obituaries and target the survivors. That is LOW.

  Oh! I was praying and the Witnesses knocked at my door. I call bullshit.

  So what was it about the materials and studies that convinced you that this was the truth?

  I just say I'm calling bullsh*t. I was raised as one and I know every trick in the book to make us turn back Jehovah= Organization.

  Where is Jesus?

  Yes,

  Nobody finds that drivel and sucked in, unless you are stupid or falling on hard times. I had that crap beat into me from BIRTH, It took me 35 years to half-way get over it. You will find no sympathy here. For Christians, yes but NOT for Jehovah's Witnesses. It is a pit of vipers.
