  Just wanted to say HI...

  Its my 1st time on here...it looks good.

  Are there many here from Aus??

  I am 37 - male - was a JW all my life until 2 years ago. Used to pioneer regularly and was a MS. Thankfully I questioned everything in the end and found out who God really is and the history of the JW's....My wife and I were shocked after reading CoC and C/freedom. We never whent back. We sent a letter to the society to remove our names - not sure if we were disfellowshipped or not???

  My family and I are now Christian and we go to a huge Church here in Western Australia called Riverview. It has about 5000 members and is non-denominational. It is really cool!!

  Hi Riverview

  Welcome to the board

  There's a few here from Australia - me not being one of them!

  How does Riverview compare to the Hillsong church sizewise? Can we expect the Christian music market in the UK to be flooded by cd's from 'your place' soon as well

  hehehe!!!

  Yeah Riverview is awesome!! The music is the best!!

  Hillsong Church in Sydney has around 20,000 members - Riverview has about 5,000. We have a lot of Hillsong music but also a lot of home grown stuff....and YES they have many CD's and DVD's....and they are really cool!!

  Hi Riverview,

  Welcome to the board.

  I'm not quite an Ozzie, but I have spent a few years there. I like WA, have some cuzzies there too. JWs unfortunately, but I was never baptised, so I am still welcome.

  I'll let you know next time I drop by.

  Cheers

  Chris
