    I left early 20's. Realized I had been raised in a cult at 30. I'm 47 now.

    Left 8 years ago at 31 but woke up this year, I still believed they were the the truth until this year at age 39. I just left because i was not happy going now i know they are liars as well which makes it so much sweeter! So Happy to be free along with my daughter who does not go!

    I was df'd at 18, but continued to believe it was "the truth" until probably age 31 or so. I'm 40 now (yikes!!)

    My parents became JW's just before I was born. So I guess that made me 2nd generation. I left at age 18 and never went back. Our now for 26 years!

    BTW not DF'd or DA'd just walked away from the non-sense.

    I think it depends on when you come "in". I was brought up in a divided household, and really didn't take to the jw stuff, until I did it on my own at 15. I spent the next 3 or 4 years as a brainwashed dubby. A good elder friend of mine, (not an elder at the time, though), told me about 1975 when I was about 19. That is where the doubts first started. They became much stronger after I was first married at 22. It took ten years to leave at that point, (32). I have been out for over three years now.
