    When I first came here I was happy to find a place where I could laugh, get pissed off or just speak my mind on a subject.The people I have met here are some of the most,kind,careing,informative,helpfull souls. I couldn`t have asked for a better group to be involved with.I do not always agree with my board mates.Even with the ones who piss me off,there is still a comradeship(YK comes to mind,LOL).Finding this board has taught me one important thing.We are not alone,we have each other...OUTLAW

    I am glad I found this board. I have met alot of great people and had the chance to meet Valis and Sixofnine in person. I am looking forward to meeting more in Aug.

    Being here was a nice break from silentlambs-------please don't misunderstand me when I say that----------what I mean is I don't have to be serious all the time and it is nice to be able to not have my abuse right in my face everyday. I can laugh and talk to people who understand where I come from.

    Love you all,

    Jesika

    Outlaw-------

    I can email directly and tell him for you. Does he know you by "outlaw" or another name. I don't want Bill to think I am calling him an outlaw (just kiddin).

    I love being on this board, I agree with Crazy151 about the job thing. Can't seem to tear myself away from the computer anymore to get a job.

    Love you all,

    Ditto, ditto, ditto. I've been on this board less than a month, and already my family can see the positive changes. I am thrilled at the breadth and depth here. On the one hand, I really like the scholarly threads, though I have a weakness in that regard and can too easily get caught up in hyperanalysis. OTOH, I especially benefit from the personal experiences and socialization, being a good little sociopathic ex-JW in need of such therapy.

    My big advantage is that I am currently unemployed, and can prowl around here all day! And I do, too
