  That was my baptism song also. I had never noticed that until now.

  And teel - yes that is bizzare. We are willing to KILL a life in order to show respect for the SYMBOL of life. It makes no sense.

  Thanks for the comments everybody.

  just wanted to start this to get a pulse on how many young jw's are exiting percentage wise recently in the witness organization.

  in my family i have 8 young people aged 21 through 35 .

  these are my son and two daughters and my older siblings 5 adult children.

  This is a little off topic Flipper - but kinda related and I think you will find it interesting.

  My former congregation had 100 publishers in 1990. Between now and then, I have composed a list of 62 persons that are gone. That's a mixture of 4 disassociations, lots of DF's and a ton of people that just quit and never came back. And most of those people were between 17 and 35. But that's 62%, and that's just from my memory in a ten minute span when I quickly jotted down the list. I'm sure there are a handful more that I forgot about.

  this week i finally finished college.

  feels great to finally be completed.. i have to say that the process has been therapeutic.

  a year and a half ago when i started to go back i still defined myself in terms of my experience as a jw.. that is all gone now.

  Congratulations Drew. That's awesome. I threw away a paid scholarship to college in order to "pioneer" for 5 years. Now that I'm out, i will soon be thinking seriously about going back. I sure wish I had invested that 2-4 years right after high school before I was married and had responsibilities.

  Best of luck to you.
