have been a member of JWR since 2008 and have not been to hall since June 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said I have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.
it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group I have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.
my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is I was not born in. that being said I also have no real issues with being an apostate (although I do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).
Peace - Brad
