    I've been here awhile and still don't know exactly how it works.

    It's a bit of a free-for-all with a stiff dose of pandemonium.

    Welcome!

    Thanks so much! I felt like such a dork! I had posted a little of my back story on another topic, and I think it freaked some people out. I have been lurking at the site for some time now. LOVE IT! I have been dfed since 1984 and 3rd generation jw. Thanks again for the welcome!

    Welcome to the site, Haboob!

    dragon welcome

    Your story really didn't "freak" anyone out. You just didn't tell ENOUGH of it.

    However, if you want to keep some details private, that is a VERY good idea, especially keeping in mind that you're posting on a fairly public forum which some JW elders are presumed to visit, looking for "active" members...

    Not to mention - it's just a good idea to keep your more specific, personal info to yourself.

    Having said that, would you care to tell us a bit more about yourself - GENERALLY speaking???

    Haboob's first comment:

    "hello everyone! just did a virtual cannonball into this forum and am so happy to be here! I have been looking at this site for months now and have taken the plunge! wasn't sure where to jump in and my first post is to just say hello. I have been on the journey with some of you and I feel like we are already aquainted. First of all I am DFed, and have been since 1984. I was a born-in, and 3rd generation JW. It is funny how most stories are so similar due to doctrine. ALL JW's will tell followers to not visit these sites but all I see is Christian LOVE........and that does it for me. I would like to thank everyone on here that has helped me scripturally, testimonially, and spiritually. I did seek, and I am glad. I did not want to get on here and give a testimonial, just a quick shout out for the warm Christian association, and the thorough research that undoubtedly helps others. Oh, the screen name has to do with location and age. Haboob is a storm, sand storm. Thanks for having me!"

    And your second post...
