Born in. I see the newbies just buy into the 'end of days/paradise' promise.
Also, in a time of personal distress, the attention and love bombing works.
For me, dealing with non-JWs is just too stressful due to their practices and beliefs. So, the community I'm used to keeps me here.
Regardless of their imperfections and a couple of flawed policies, overall they're a peaceful, lovely bunch.
And in the Spanish side, oh, we have so much fun!!!
