Jamiebowers, no way! I'm very happy with who I am and want to get out of there ASAP.
Good to hear!

I had a newly baptised friend who told me that jehovah gave him green traffic lights and that satan gave him red ones to make him late for the meetings...and flat tyres were from satan too. He really believed that he could walk through dangerous parts of town because jehovah had him in a protective 'bubble'!
After i kindly burst that one, he confessed the next day to crapping himself all the walk home that night...
It wasnt funny at the time i was a MS, but now? cracks me up to think about it!
