I was raised in the JW's and pressured into being baptized. It was constantly being brought up as to why, at my age, I hadn't been, and what was wrong? I gave in. My grandmother was baptized the same day and has admitted to me that since she was old, that she decided to do it just in case "THEY" were right about all of this. Left the Jdubs in 1983. Years later, I was tracked down in another state and given an ultimatum. My mother had given them my address. Either return or be disfellowshipped for living with my bf... I chose to be disfellowshipped. I even attended the meeting so I could hear it announced! Only regrets: I miss my grandmother who always loved me unconditionally and still does to this day. She is 96 years old and I will miss her last years because of my mother who lives with her.
