Born in but the lies by the WTS. concerning 1975 really made me rethink what I was involved in , left the Borg in 1980.

None of those three categories describes my background.
I would class myself as "raised in" rather than "born in", given that my parents weren't JWs when I was born. In fact, they never did become JWs: - I was introduced to it at eleven years of age, by a grandmother who had commenced a "Bible Study" with the witnesses several years before.
Furthermore, the term "convert" is hardly relevant in my case, as I was not a church member prior to my involvement with the witnesses.
Also, my grandmother began "studying" with the JWs about the same time as the All Scriptures Inspired book was released, which specifically warned against any speculation regarding the 6000th anniversary of human creation. I don't therefore class myself as a 1975er, either.
Sorry to disagree!
Bill.

In '83 I was a born in because my mom studied and became a dub in 74. This she said is when they would let you walk up and get baptized. She fell for the '75 shit although to this day she swears people took 1975 "too seriously".... uh huh... and you didn't?
