I believed it all. Born in, ms at young age, 16, elder at 28, served in that capacity for 30 yrs. Then I was asked to prove 1914 not using the societies literature. I couldn't do it. Found out the society is the only org. that uses that date. It all fell apart at once.Took another 15 yrs to recoup emotionaly. I am mostly free from it, but when you are a born in, it is more difficult than one would believe to leave it all. I lost everything when I left . Started completely over at age 58.

How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?
by Ding insome people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.
