Based on my own experience it started seriously when I was 22 but it took another few years to really start getting out if it. so I'd say between 25 to 35 is when it hits you.

33Around what age do most Witnesses leave the organization?

Too funny, but I agree with skeeter1. I don't think this will move many of witnesses, then again I'm wondering what would!?! Sometimes shocking things can make people think more than pure reason would, not for all of them of course, but same goes with reasoning only few would respond.
IF anyone in that crowd had any brains then it was enough to raise an eyebrow that people were literally prohibited from talking to demonstrators. Being TOLD "we are not talking to them" and then dragged away, hmmmmm are you serious? And that was in middle of a democratic country??!!??

Sorry to hear that oompa, kids are probably the only people who would remember us when we are gone or feel that void when we are no longer around for that matter. I hope things turn around for you and don't feel sorry for your age. You can't turn the time back you can only enjoy those special moments as they come and live fully through them for sooner or later they will be gone too. That is just the nature of life.
this is at least how I see it, you might disagree, but at least enjoy the song ;)

why are you crying? did something happened to one of your children?? that would be a reason for me to cry for sure, other than that I think you need to toughen up mate. Life give you and handful of sugar and handful of shit and you just learn to deal with it as it comes...

Make a statement you have found to be TRUE.
by gaiagirl injw's like to refer to their body of beliefs as "the truth", even when those beliefs are adjusted or even reversed, giving rise to the question 'if this is "the truth", then what were the beliefs which were promoted as "the truth" until the change'?.
state something you have actually found to be "true", in the sense that, in your experience, it agrees with what is observed in the real world.. .
i'll start: knowledge is power

It is tradition in my family to drink black coffee. My mom used to make really strong coffee, you could almost put a spoon in and make it stand right up lol :D, seriously though I always loved strong coffee particularly in the morning. For years I was having real Italian espresso with just a touch of sugar. But over last few years I stopped using sugar all together, somehow it tastes better. In afternoon I love to get a latte.

LOL Farkel, maybe you did if you meant "boinking" part, you might be right, mind you I've heard another side of the story about his "boinking holy adventures". Considering freemason's attitude toward family life, on that single count I can dismiss him ever having any connection except in his dreams.

The new Ice Age Cometh!

i hope this link works but there has been virtually no sunspot activity since the beginning of this year and the suns magnetic field is down 60%.. if this link does not work, you might like to try googling: sunspot activity 2008 iceage.. the last time this happened we moved into a little ice age which lasted from 1100 to 1800.. global warming lies may well have met their match with reality.. so how will they tax us for the 'ice age?
do we get our tax back that we paid because of 'global warming'.. is this why they have made fuel so expensive....because they know what is coming and they want to make a killing?.

I'm surprised this thread is still running, Gill mate you never even tried confronting points I presented. Just trampling ahead with new things that are supposed to cover unanswered questions, not a good strategy for anyone waning to be taken seriously. Like I said before science does not operate on cute ideas but on HARD DATA.
Here is a very interesting video for you. Almost an hour long presentation by professor Naomi Oreskes of University of California, San Diego. I think it puts it rather elegantly of what is going on here....

yup, and a reptilian tail had grown up on his front instead on his back that he regularly used to sting his victims with.….. Funny thing is how often this kind of question pops up on here. The thing is there are far more insidious groups that deserve our attention and not an old gentlemen’s club.
What Freemasonry stands for is what you are enjoying today, which is freedom of expression, freedom from tyranny and fanaticism, and lastly freedom from ignorance. Mind you that last one still needs some working particularly considering some question asked even on this board…
