    Sail Away's daughter:

    1) were you raised as a JW, or did you convert?

    Raised in

    2) when were you baptized/started seriously being with the witnesses? (Date please, i.e. 1997)

    Baptized age 14, 1995

    3) when did you leave/woke up completely? (date please, i.e. 2013)

    Left age 17, 1998

    Please do the time difference between 2 and 3...

    17 years total. Baptized (due to peer pressure) 3 years, never a believer. Internet played no role in exit.

    Sail Away's son:

    1) were you raised as a JW, or did you convert?

    Raised in

    2) when were you baptized/started seriously being with the witnesses? (Date please, i.e. 1997)

    Baptized age 14, 1998

    3) when did you leave/woke up completely? (date please, i.e. 2013)

    Disfellowshipped age 24, 2008

    Please do the time difference between 2 and 3...

    24 years total. Baptized 10 years. Internet played no role in exit.

    NOTE: The Internet played no role in my exit or in Mr. Sail Away's either, but it's how we learned TTAT after our exits. See earlier post.

    Prologos, would you really say 57 years or just 6 years? I would count you as only 6 years since I am not interested really in when the DF'ing occured but when you were completely awake.

    Great MrsR-Awaken! I am happy for your "generation" of witnesses, since they seem to wake up a LOT faster than previous generations!!
