Started associating when I was 8, baptized at 14. Vacation/auxilary pioneered every school summer until gradution. Finished high school in the top 10 but did not pursue college - what a waste. Married 'in the truth' at 21 to a wonderful man who was a 'lifer JW.' We have been trying to quietly fade away in 1998 - he was disfellowshipped 06/07/2005. I'm sure I'll be DF'd soon. Daughters are done with the teen years, both in college, both wonderful people. Neither joined the WT and doubt they ever will.
