    Unfortunately, I will never know. I would hope not. I think people who were "born into it"are far more screwed up by the organization than people who were in at a later time in their life.

    It's hard to say.

    Now I say definately no, but that's knowing what I do.

    If I did not know what I do know now, probably not. But then my life would have been totally different, so who knows.

    Did that make sense.

    No, too much of it makes no sense to me.

    The vast majority of people on this earth are the religion they are because of accident of birth - nothing else - no matter which way you put it. If you were born into a souther baptist family - it is extremely likely that you will grow up to be a southern baptist

    I wonder if JWs who grew up with it are more likely or less likely to continue being a witness in adulthood.

    difficult question - I do not know and do not have the statistics - many bought up in religions will go inactive but not renounce the faith - I suppose more JWs do that as a percentage but again - I do not have the statistics to back up that assertion
