    WOW great thread I am going to do this backwards from the way you questioned it.

    Raised in it, never really understood it my whole life. I figured if I kept studying I would one day get it

    Baptized at 18 pressured by JW boyfriend so we could be married in the hall.

    Left 3 weeks after baptism. To thine own self be true
