    Converted. Strictly through the door-to-door work.

    Okay Oompa, I updated my file...I always wanted to but didn't know what to write. It is done now.

    Thank you,

    I was just thinking about this the other day, when I was young and in it, I felt like it was bragging rights to say my grandparents and parents were in it. I remember looking down in that obnoxious JW way on those that came in through conversion. Now, I realize that it was actually the other way around or not even that one or the other was better. I just knew I didn't have a choice in the matter and whenever anyone in my family ever dares to bring this topic up for any length of time, I always say "I never got the chance to make my own decisions on what to believe" and I think I deserve the same chance to figure out the world on my own terms as anyone else...

    I was born in. I'll have to mention that in my as-yet non-existent profile.
