I was a very good example--until I went to college after high school. Went to the local community college, continued to live at home, went out in service, but suddenly was "marked". Odd thing was, my best friend at the time went to the same college and wasn't "marked". Big difference between us was that she was and elder's daughter and was taking nursing classes. The official explanation was that SHE was taking classes so that she could "support herself while serving Jehovah". Apparently I was taking classes so that I could get my hands on all those Satan-inspired textbooks...
After I graduated from college, I got a job at the same community college I had attended. I'd been out of high school six or seven years and was, by this time, Director of Financial Aid for the community college district and at meetings, the occasional elder would ask me how classes were going. I'd been out of college for a couple of years and they had no clue. I was already working on my slow fade so I just answered that classes were going just great (I assume that they were-we had lots of students in the classes anyway) I didn't mention that I WASN'T a student any more-just laughed at them silently.
Now I hope I'm a good example of how great life can be when you leave a mind controlling religion...
