Baptized in 75. The people who studied with me never made a big deal of the 7000 years thing, just that they passed, so it didn't factor into my decision.
Left in Jan. 2002 after they 'marked' me for my interest and pursuit of OBE's.

I was pretty much raised a JW, but never baptized. Since 1964.

Studied in 1979
Baptized in 1980
Walked away in 1994
Df'd in 1996
(My mom was baptized and tried to raise all us kids as JW's. I say 'tried' because my mom had a problem with smoking and she couldn't get rid of some of her Catholic upbringing.
So I was kind of born around the 'truth', but it wasn't until 1979 when I started to study.)

Family studies started in 1957 (I was 11) and continued off and on for several years.
Baptized in 1965.
Witnessed the Tower's 1975 failure.
Witnessed the Tower's blame the believers game thereafter.
Started the Tower fade in the early 1980s.
So many Tower failures, so little time. :)
