  I was a convert, getting involved in 1991, and baptised in 1992, at the age of 41 (old enough to have more sense)

  I was a young girl of 4 when my mother was introduced to the witnesses.

  We really need another category - RAISED IN

  Many of us had parents who joined sometime after we were born. Tan above was 4 so she pretty much was raised entirely in it as someone who was born into it.

  I was 11 so I had some experience going to church and doing many things the JWs said were wrong and I had to give up - like holidays and birthdays and making Mother's Day cards etc

  Raised in. First stepped into a KH at the age of 5 when my mother started going to the meetings while studying with a JW.
