    Angel,

    COngrats kiddo. BIG STEP, but you already know that. Find a support network, OK, us, some real friends, a door know, something. I hope your family is ok with all this. My prayer for you is that in losing faith in an organization, you don't lose faith in God.

    I never noticed before today that you signed your posts with Anne.

    Have you before? If you haven't, how does it feel to do so? Good? I think that it should.

    Someday, I will be able to sign my posts with something besides Slip. Congradulations to you. I admire your strength.

    Hey Bboy,
    It's not that you 'can't have any morals without organized religion', it's that you have reasonable basis to consistently enforce your morals.

    My own DA date is an anniversary I will mark with something special every year! It's an integral part of my e-mail address.

    I wish you the very best, Anne, and know that you will NOT regret this long term, even if you ask yourself once in a while "What have I done?!!"

    What you "done" is GOOD, girl!

    Thanks for the encouragment!

    It's been a real rollercoaster trying to get a handle on it all.
    The freedom of being out from under that control after all these years has been bittersweet at least so far. I want to do too many things!

    Slip-It feels great to use my real name. It's a pretty common name though, my nickname since birth is, get this, LIZA. There, now anyone that thought they might know who I am knows for sure now!

    You guys are awesome as a support group. I hope to meet some of you soon in Toronto or elsewhere.

    I've got my fingers (and toes) crossed that you'll be able to make it to Toronto for the Apostofest this weekend!

    Here's hoping,

    Unlike doing it because you have a concience which, as i recall, i had without some dude breathing down my neck with threat of death.

    Anne- You're dope now I cannot fathom the courage that goes into what you had the balls to do. Also just wanted to add my own selfish opinion that you can also live a great life without god/jesus/whomever. Now back to Anne being dope...
