How long were you a JW and how far up the "ladder" did you get?

I was at my first door alone at age 7 in 1951. Coerced into baptism at age 12. I made it all the way up to microphone boy. I was fired from that privilege of service for not wearing a necktie on the job. I didn't like being a Witness, I mostly didn't like the Witness people, and they overfilled my bullshit bucket.
I kicked the kingdom hall door in 1974 when I saw the year-text. I was fractionally shunned from 1974 until 1992. From 1992 until present I am fully shunned. I actually like "fully shunned" better.
This is the best life I've ever had. I don't like the Witness people and I advocate to their detriment. I don't want any Witnesses to leave the cult and I have scores to settle with more than a few. I'm always on the lookout for settlement opportunities. -

Baptised at 19, lots of aux pioneering, married kids ms for a number of years. I had an "elder" who had a fixation on destroying me (ironically he died young from cancer despite being a health nut. I look back now and realise he had deep seated, chronic mental health issues). He hassled my wife to stop full time pioneering saying she was a burden on the cong. I used our car for work so she needed to be picked up.....
Anyhow I stood down as ms etc, yrs go by...suddenly I'm 42 and totally unhappy. I researched deeply and left. Eventually my (ex)wife, kids are now all free.
Life does begin at 40!! Lol

Nobody hates Jehovah's Witnesses more than the Watch Tower Society. The Watch Tower Society thinks Jehovah's Witnesses are idiots. I agree.
I agree with you, Gary.
