Born into the purgatory of dubdom
Never took the dunk (thank you papa for not pressuring me!)
Abandoned at age 15, didn't feel the need to go anymore since I had already lost my family, so I didn't!
? Born into ?the truth.? Both parents avid/rabid JWs. (Dad 1st generation, mom 2nd.)
? Baptized at 16. I thought at the time that it would be better to be baptized than not to be, just in case there was some hope remaining for me.
? Actually, still in good standing?for now. I?m currently 37 years old. I have to wait and bide my time for another few years until I?m in an adequate financial situation to do a solo fade. (Still living at home. Don?t laugh?it certainly has its financial advantages.)

I went underground at age 28
I was a fourth generation'er.
Always felt uncomfortable with the whole thing.
Was forced into going to meetings and service until mid teens.
Never baptized.
Got married at 23 (to non witness) - tried again to fit in and please family. Same uncomfortable feelings.
Started real investigation of WTS in 1999 through books and internet.
Never been back.
