    Hi folks, Thought you might get a kick out of reading a blog post that I recently wrote about leaving the JWs. http://blog.obiefernandez.com/content/2008/07/becoming-a-worl.html It got a large number of comments and provoked a lot of people to email me, all positive. Some of you might remember me from back in the witnesses.net days -- I went by "Obed" back then -- nowadays I'm a successful author and run a high-profile web consultancy. Glad to see that sites like this one (there aren't many are there?) continue to help people escape the cult. Cheers, Obie http://obiefernandez.com

    Obed, I remember you. Glad things are going well. I'm also a writer. What do you write and where can I see it, apart from your blog?

    Glad you dropped in.

    Hi I was just wondering the other day what happened to you. Just a small thing, but if you are able to edit your blog you might want to change the scripture to Matt. 24:45 instead of Matt 24:14. seek2find

    Blondie, et. al... yes, I am "Obed" of witnesses.net fame. :)

    Still can't believe I let that server get wiped back circa 2001... I didn't pay my hosting bill for a few months and *boom* it was all gone, including about 7 years of accumulated email. You can still find some witnesses.net stuff through the "Wayback Machine" at archive.org, but for the most part it is all vanished into the ether apart from our diminishing memories

    Cheers,
    Obie
