    Baptized at 20. Irregular at 29. Completely inactive by 30.

    Exposed to it at a vulnerable time, by leaving home and living with studying oldest sibling. Then lost the second oldest sibling who was my mentor. Very vulnerable crossroads in my life. Long list of things that make you go hmmm began during study and compounded all along. I don't care what any JW says. All JWs have such a list.

    Born in. I left about 14 years after being baptized. A total of 27 years wasted in the cult.

    I'm male.

    Born in (1963)
    Baptized at age 20 (1983)
    Last meeting at age 36 (1999)
    So, baptized and "in" for 16 years

    But, in my opinion...
    Under the spell: 36 years
    Free!: 14 years (I just turned 50 yesterday)

    baptized in 1987 at 15. Out for good at 28. It feels like it was longer than 13 years.
