I think it's been around 7 years for me. And I NEVER EVER missed going or being with the "friends".

November of 2005. A streak I'm rather proud of.

Circuit assembly in 2004, I think. It was almost unbearable. I felt like vomiting every time they spoke of the "Faithful Slave" and the Governing Body interchangeably (which isn't even the Society's own teaching, half the time) and when they continually pushed the mantra "Obey the Slave", "Obey the Governing Body", "The Slave says in the Watchtower" (No, the mostly non-anointed Writing Committee 'says in the Watchtower').
I saw though the constant fear mongering and manipulative attempts to enforce strict unquestioning obedience to the Organization - in fact, they barely said anything else.
I couldn't stomach any more after that.

At the end of my days as an elder, I HATED giving talks and would cancel them quite easily especially if the talk was counsel that was geared to reprimanding the flock. I hated judicial meetings too because I knew I was no better than anyone else!
