I'm 4th generation on my dad's side, 3rd generation on my mom's side - inactive, faded. I had a pretty uneventful, yet restrictive, upbringing. Baptized at 15, I started plotting my exit from my mom's home and the religion at 16. I successfully played the game of a double life until I was 18 and then just left. My family is not left without wounds, but most have walked away. I'm just trying to get through to the last few who are still putty in the palms of the GB and WT. After 10 years out, I've finally learned TTATT and am ready to proudly bear the title of "Apostate"! Bring on this amazing community!
