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?
If you weren't born in, how did you get in?

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.

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.
