Say hi to the new guy!!
March 24, 2010 at 12:35 pm
Hi there! I'm new!

I grew up in my early years as a Jehovah Witness, going door-to-door with my dad until I was about seven years old. Then he became a born again Christian - still not sure which was worse.

For the next ten years I was in sunday school, bible camp, youth group, and study group. I finally got away from it all when I moved away for university.

Been on the path to freedom ever since!

Cheers!
David

Nice avatar! Makes me think of Stephen King's IT (the TV version). It was the one with John-Boy in it. Awful movie, wonderful book. But then, that's usually how it goes.

But you're already here... Smile

Welcome Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

That does seem like a frying pan/fire kind of dilemma.

Bon jour.

Welcome. Damn, you having been so involved in religion as a child, you are evidence there is still hope that one day this world will be rid of religion.
