Hey, leddfoot!
(You don't happen to work at SHAP, do you? ;) )
WELCOME!! ~ I'm in Michigan, too, and we have fairly regular ex-JW MeetUps. Contact me at [email protected] and put your JWD ID in the subject line and I'll add you to our back-channel mailing list.

Greetings LF. Just hang your hat and enjoy the 'mix' company the Bible foretold.

Welcome.
I have already been surprised at all i have/am learning.
Welcome at last to the board!
welcome aboard, leddfoot i've been out for 7 years, too!
i only miss one thing about being a witness. the cheese danish.
OMFG Riz-too funny. I forgot about those! They were awesome.
I loved the muffin breakfast sandwiches too. Come to think of it, the pudding was addictive as well!
mmmm yes. vanilla pudding and frozen oj. those things almost made up for three days' worth of Bleacher Butt Syndrome.
leddfootdja,
I hope you can cope with rejection (I guess the fact you're DF'd is a help) 'cause you'll find plenty of it here. Everyone hates everyone else. Including me
And I used to believe everyone loved cheeses.
Anyway - WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME, pleased to meet you.
Welcome
From another "Newbie".....Big Hugs of WELCOME!!!
Speaking for myself, I just wish I had found this place sooner! This is the first time in my life I haven't felt alone concerning my feelings towards JWs. (I was born into the org 42 years ago, but made my escape when I married my wild Catholic husband 22 years ago.) My parents and sister still have not given up hope that I will return to the fold someday. But even as a child and teen, I knew the JWs were NOT for me. Since I always held back from being baptised, the society couldn't DF me when I slowly left. Which has really helped me to be able to stay close to my family since there is no need to shun me.
Anyway, this group has been such a source of joy and comfort to me. I come here daily to read messages...at times I have even posted questions that I had been needing answers to. NEVER have I felt that there wasn't someone "out there" listening to me...and sending me their support. I hope you find it as great as I have. (I am here now just to get inspired enough to go to Memorial tonight. I only do it to please my 79 year old mother, and it is getting harder every year. You know, if it wouldn't give my mom a heart attack, I would just take a big gulp from that 'ol goblet of wine!!! LOL! )
Now, I just can't wait for the "powers that be" to get the function fixed that will allow me to add a picture and more info to my profile!!! It sounds like fun! And, I want to get involved, too!!!
Happy Easter to all! ~Bobbi (who happily celebrates all the bunnies and eggs of the Pagan Fertility Season. heeheehee)
