JoinedWas a third generation witness until I was nearly 16, started to think for myself as far as religion (and science - it played it's part) was concerned. Regretful for ever having been a JW, but as with most of you, no doubt, it was a family thing - so what you gonna do?! Most annoyed with the way certain things stay with you, even though you know you don't believe it. They really instill it right in there! Was never baptised though things were in motion, in fact, it was the studying with the elders that got me thinking, so right back at you! LOL! Mother is still going, which can be difficult as I still live at home (yes I know I'm 26), but thankful I left when I did. Very frustrating also, that you can see the hypocrisy and pretense, but can't speak or act against it. In fact, the general intolerance of anything other than JW friendly, really annoys me. A huge feature of the JW's I find! So ... I've been out for about ten years (sounds like I was in prison - I know some of you will enjoy drawing that comparison!) and I don't really think about it in any great depth, in fact, religion doesn't do anything for me any more, in any form.
