Some of them I met when I was still a premie, and doing something which made it obvious I was a premie, like being a community coordinator or something. 

But I can recall a number of occasions running into people who once were premies for like 15 minutes.  I remember one time being in a restaurant with my friend Joy and we just mentioned something that the waiter overheard, and he was one of those "15-minute" premies.  I also recently got a massage from a guy who turned out to be the same.  It just seems like if you run into people in that way, there must be a lot more of them -- and there must be since 97,000 out of the 100,000 in my country have pretty much split from the cult, if they were ever in it in the first place.
