Raised a JW, baptized as a teen. Publicly Reproved as a teen after finally admitting to "fornacating" amd then finally DF'd after running away at 17 and getting pregnant. (by the way, I am still with the same "boyfriend" I fornacated with and have been married for 23 years, together for 28 years and have 3 kids. I've got a better marriage record than alot of JW's. I was reinstated in my late 20's for a while before I faded about 9 years ago.
