Welcome. You can be certain that it is never too late.
Might I enquire how you got into and out of JW?
My parents were inactive JWs. I was heavily indoctrinated by my mother, even listening to the tapes of the horrid bible story book. When I was 13, I saw someone die. He was cute, nice, and I had had a crush on him from the second I saw him. It was devastating. I started praying. Then, my JW grandparents found someone to study with me. I should mention I was also homeschooled. So, JWs were my only community.
I got out just by letting myself think critically for the first time in 25 years.
