Was raised as a JW by loving parents who sincerely believed they were doing the best thing. Baptised in my late twenties, and df'd in my early thirties for - surprisingly - not being able to pray to Jehovah, during a meeting with the elders. My heart would no longer allow me to worship a tiny Biblical concept of a god. Today I have no religion, and see all beliefs as part of a false story weaved by the mind which is mistakenly identified with as who and what we are. We are not the story; not what we believe ourselves to be.

Born & raised a JW, up until age 24 when I read Ray Franz's book and realized this wasn't "God's Organization". My father & mother died JWs. My sisters are still in and will probably stay in.

Joined the Witnesses in 1973, the year I graduated from college. Met a young woman (also a new convert) at the hall. We married in 1974. In 1988, after years of not being happy with the religion, we began research on the religion. As a result, we disassociated ourselves in March 1988.
