I can find one positive thing growing up a JW.  I wasn't forced to attend a kingdom hall service or participate in meetings.

Did you leave out a word or something?  We all know that being raised a jw does mean being forced to attend the meetings and go in service.  Did you leave out the word "not?"  As in "I can find one positive thing about NOT growing up a jw."

And can we drop the "apostate" argument in this thread?  If you would like to continue that discussion, please start a separate thread.  Thank You.
