Decimus

Hi everyone.While I have lurked on this board for some time this is my very first post. The main reason for my reluctance to post has been the fact that my job keeps me pretty busy - However I have enjoyed the board so much I felt I would love to be a more tangible presence and have decided to take the plunge. I will give more details of my background later.

Welcome. If you look anything like Russell Crowe did in his Gladiator uniform.....

Hi Decimus, its nice to meet you. I know how you feel because my job keeps me pretty busy too, but I always find time to post. I post sometimes just to relieve the stress of the job. It helps. I hope that you find out that coming here and talking to the folks in this forum when you have a litle free time will really improve your job performance. I'm not kidding! I mean it. Anyway, I look forward to hearing more about you later.

Ok, LDH enough with the Russell Crow comments. I have to hear that from my wife all the time. ;) Welcome Decimus.

Dear Lord, please save me from your followers.

Welcome Decimus,
I know the feeling, I'm busy at work each day and only get a moment or two to visit the site.
I find it very refreashing and thought provoking and it helps my day go by.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks everyone.It's nice to be here.To give you a little background:
I was brought up in the org.from the age of about seven.My mother and older sister (but never my father)were JW's and I more or less followed along until age 16 when I was baptized myself.
From then on it was all pretty conventional stuff until eventually being appointed MS and then later elder.I became a Regular Pioneer in 1974.
BTW this mostly took place in the Birmingham area.That's UK not Alabama.
In 1978 I moved to the Caribbean and spent about 8 years there.Had some interesting experiences including meeting Ray Franz shortly before he was ousted from the GB and worked with Ewart Chitty when he visited our cong.This was shortly after he was removed from the GB.An interesting story there for later!
During my time in the islands I left the org.and moved up to Florida where I have been ever since.I do go back to England as often as possible though.
That's it in a nutshell. Sorry - I look nothing like Russell Crowe - with or without my gladiator uniform on!!!
