    1. Some doubts beginning at about age 15.
    DFed in 1982.
    Reinstated in 1984.
    DFed in 1987. Still mostly believed. (Yes, I'm a slow learner.)
    Left the WT mentally in 1995 when I found info on the net.

    2. Baptized at age 11.

    3. My parents began studying when I was 5. I count that as being brought up in it.

    baptised at 13, disfellowshipped at 22 and still thought it was the truth for another 2 years or so before coming to my senses. Thank God that one of their sickening practices (disfellowshipping) actually frees people from the brainwashing... the truth shall set you free.
