    to this forum at least. I noticed a couple others posting newbie threads so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon.

    I don't have a great story or tale for you all, I just walked away. Don't know what the elders told the rest of the herd.

    Well anyway, hello. :)

    Thanks EUK, I'm still trying to figure out what all these little buttons do. :)

    I've actually been out for... damn, 8 years now. I have no regrets... I know some of the members here from a xJW website and thought I'd check this one out.

    Anyway thank you for the welcome.

    Hello godlike

    Good for you for 'walking' and not caring what the 'herd' thinks. Welcome to the forum.

    Hi godlike,

    I walked five years ago. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    Don't know what the elders told the rest of the herd.

    The herd. That's classic. I can tell we will get along. Welcome to our happy family.

    Grab a Guinness and pull up a chair.

    Hey Cor...er godlike-

    lol Hojon... it's been a long time eh?

    JT actually my story isn't all that great. Born and raised in this cult. I always had doubts and both my brother and sister had been out for years, so I had back up. After I left, my mother chose the path of enlightenment :) and left the evil borg. Haven't looked back and enjoyed my life since then. I've been hanging out over at another board for the past year or so and decided to come over and check this one out.

    Looking forward to visiting this place more often. Cheers! :)
