"So, I have to ask...is anyone who is not "born again" uable to find truth or life?" And I would add to this question, is anyone who is not "Christian" able to find truth or life?
The deafening silence to this question is what makes Christianity so hypocritical and dishonest...

I have a question, Do you have to belong to a certain religion to be born again?

Depends on what you mean by "find", I guess. But to try to answer you, apart from God? No.

But to try to answer you, apart from God? No.
So what makes being "born again" better than the Witnesses or any other religion that professes to have the only way to truth and life?

Explain this a little, please...
some choose now, others later. Choose what?
If I read between the lines properly I see the implication that one can accept Jesus later thus gaining truth and life. Is this correct? What if one never accepts Jesus? Can one still find truth and life?
Some choose Jesus, who is Truth and Life, now. Others will do it later.
In order to gain truth and life, all will have to accept Him. No exceptions.
Those who reject Him, with full undersstanding of what they're doing, are headed to the Lake of Fire.

That would mean that your original answer...
So, I have to ask...is anyone who is not "born again" uable to find truth or life?
No, truth and life are open to all.
...was incorrect, because now you've added the caveat that one has to accept Jesus or face the consequences.
or...
...it was purposely misleading so as to not put off people with the narrow minded view that no one can find truth or life other than the way you believe.
Reminds me of another religious group...

I believe what the Holy Scriptures teach.

No. You follow Jesus Christ. He is your mediator.
