Started going to meetings, age 5
Pioneers started studying with family, age 8.
Started ministry school, age 11.

Quit going - cold turkey - age 41.
Mr Rocky was born in it, baptized at 18, applied to Bethel but had to turn it down because of family obligations. He also quit, cold turkey, age 43.
Our children, college age, never got baptized. They were in high school when we quit, ages 13 and 14. They left with us. However, Mr R's mother, brother and his family, my sis and her husband, and brother and his family, my mom and dad, are all very much still in.

Baptised at 14. Boughts of serious doubt at 18, 23, 24, 25. Each time I got myself together and struggled on. Out at 25 and a quarter. Official at 25 and a half. Wish I would have figured it out sooner.
