Yes, have been for 48 years, and as "roeleavitt" says: "proud to be a Jehovah's Witness."

JW as in Jehovah's Witnesses?

Yes, there are. Apparently some JW's do not follow the advice of their own 'Governing Body', against unecessary association with non-JWs. Wonder if they would be so willing to announce to all of their JW friends that they frequent Yahoo Answers? Doubt they would like to get lectured about 'bad associations spoil useful habits'. I doubt they would like to be marked, because of discussing doctrines with apostates (as defined by JWs). If there are any JWs in here who are NOT afraid of others in their congregation finding out they frequently visit this site, I dare you to TRUTHFULLY state your first name, and which congregation you go to.
I will tell you right now that I left the JW's several years ago, and am happy to be free. My name is Karolyn, and I attended the HIllcrest Congregation in Shelton, WA.

They are banned in some country, especially those who need to serve the military.
Also they refuse to accept certain conventional medical treatment and disallow blood transfusion.
However, they are very nice people who I had met. Much better characters than other protestants.

Yes, here I am again, Charlene. And very proud to be associated with the personal name of the Sovereign of the Universe, and have the privilege of being one of his witnesses.

There are a few, but they have been warned that we are bad influences, and that reading the opinions and literature found here, usually based on opposing religious views to their own, could be dangerous to their faith.
We are a generation of vipers, my friend. Welcome to the mountain.
