Dragged along to meetings, service, etc from the age of 10...baptized at age 17 (privately reproved twice for the usual sin @ 19 and 21)...married at 24...Min Servant at 29 (wife pioneered, I gave 2 public talks)... serious cracks in my "spirituality" started at 30... went online at 33 and was out within a month (this time publicly reproved over the UN scandal.. )

Born in, doubts at 12, pressure to baptise at 14, never did, out at 16.
(For any young lurkers, I do not recomend this. It was tough, and I'd do it differently in retrospect.)
