Moogy, I think I started to leave emotionally when I was in my early teens, and was finally
emotionally out in my late fifties.
Same here. I picked the 30-39 range because I began physically walking away when I was 30 (and it took a couple of years to get out completely), but I had checked out mentally years before that. And truth be told, I had doubts about the church all through my childhood and teenage years. Somehow, the brainwashing never "took" 100%. Maybe 95%.
