    I was raised as a Witness, so I don't feel bad for my past but I wish that I could have left a bit earlier.

    Sometimes. At work, I would like to avoid the opening line "Hey I used to be part of a cult? How the hell are you?"

    Pragmatically, I am not mad at myself. I was a born in. It took as long as it took for me to wake up, thats all.

    No, I was raised in it and left at the first possible moment. I would love to know why my parents were such fools. It will always be one of life's great mysteries to me. Also, my mother's family. Although, a lot of them are just plain fools in everything so I don't think too much about them.

    Very foolish. Born-in. Gradually coming out of the ether.
