i was born into the jw religion, fourth generation to be exact. i quit going to meetings when i was 18. its been a hard trip, but i never really fit into the whole scheme of things as i was a humanist and free thinker and that just didn't work in this religion.i'm 26 now and i finally stopped going to all the events of the faith (memorial etc) this year and told my family that i was done. they weren't happy, but i'm a lucky one and they respect my wishes, they just don't agree with my lifestyle, but hey , i don't agree with their religion.
