    what I actually wanted to say was "hi". A minor internet stuff up. sorry. Thanks for your welcomes. I was born and bought up as a jw,along with my two sisters and two brothers. I did not manage to leave till I was 27 (a long 'coming out' story). That was umm..about 18 years ago if I can do the math. (not very good at it). I live in New Zealand, I am married and have five free children. (I still, after all these years, appreciate not having to get up on a sunday morn and drag myself to the hall. I love the fact that we only get up on saturday mornings for the kids sport..no door knocking for them!) I have been reading posts here, some of which make me cry. I recognize myself. I recognize still, that feeling of my wasted youth..

    My father and one of my bro's is still in. They live in Australia and I have spoken to my father twice in the last couple of decades. My brother is the same. I have a story, I need time to tell it.

    Here in Nz, it's 2.25pm, wednesday. I have to leave soon and pick up a few kids from school.

    Thanks for listening.
