    Okay so I'm new here. Actually, I'm new to the whole forum thing in general. I guess I should say something about myself... I'm 23, born and raised in the organization. Disfellowshipped at 19, reinstated at 21. Moved back home... so therefore I'm unable to just walk away, for now. I'm at a very confused place in my life right now, and feel that these forums would probably do me some good. I have a intense love for music (stones/dylan/srv), as well as a very dry/sarcastic sense of humor. It's still a surreal feeling to know that others know where I've been and where I'm coming from, finally. So I truly look forward to getting to know you guys.

    Cool to see the younguns appreciate true rock. I listen to todays music and say the same thing my parents said about my generation. "What the F*** is this S***. I grew up with these groups and more. Rock on. This is a place to step back and look into the WTS from the outside in. A view you or anyone else on the inside has never seen.

    Welcome Art! I think your right, the interaction you can have on these boards will be an enormous help and support to you.

    Just be careful not to let anyone who might share your computer to see your history...

    P.S. How is the import/export business? hehehe

    Welcome Art. Guess how I came up with my name? One thing you'll find in common with this group is a healthy dose of humour. Enjoy your time here and try not to stress - when things get too hard remember to say "serenity now"!
