    Well, i'd just like to say hello to you all and introduce myself. I've spoken to a few of you on chat and i must say this site is well worth logging on to. It's nice to be able to speak to people who share a common experience to myself, although at times i've found since i've been here through the last week, it has started me thinking again of my experiences in the truth...is this good or bad?

    Well as for me, my parents became witnesses when i was 13. Baptised at 15...out at 24. Never been disfellowshipped( although i have moved on from the 'truth'), never wanted to dissassociate myself...as i didn't want to play that game, did the marriage thing..did the divorce thing...and have three wonderful children. I'm not an apostate or anti-, just someone who came to the conclusion that the way i was taught to live just wasn't for me.

    I live in the uk throw myself into my work...and now love life!

    So thats a bit about myself, just tell me a bit about yourself so i know who i'm talking to when i'm in chat.

    Thanks....

    Paul (aka digderidoo)

    There are quite a few of us in the UK. We're in the North West - which part are you in?

    Hi Paul,

    When I saw the name "didgeridoo" I got all excited, thinking there was another Aussie on board. Oh well, since you're British that's almost as good!

    Welcome and enjoy!

    Welcome Paul,

    Glad you decided to join our 'coffee house.'

    Simon, or one of you others Brits' -
    May I ask what a 'brummie' is - it's not an entry in my 2080 page dictionary, so I'm clueless. :):)
