It's the forum's 16th birthday today!
Amazing that not only have we lasted so long but we're still thriving and growing.
Thanks to all the people and often colorful characters who've contributed to the site over the years. Some are still here with us, some have since moved on, but all have touched each others lives in some way along our different journeys.
Happy Birthday,JWN.Thank you Simon for all your hard work in running this great site.

Hi ManofTrueGod
We've had a few introductions from people (on another topic somewhere) but I'm hoping it won't need to become as formal and intimidating to register with as some of the other forums.
It does mean that we only know about people what they will tell us. I think it's more important to go off what people say than who they say they are (after all, imposters will tell us that they are JWs the same as genuine ones will so how can we tell if not by what they say)
Wow! Simon was a died in the wool JW, paranoid about apostates and all! LOL. It's amazing how much we can change in life once we practice intellectual honesty and follow the evidence no matter where it leads.
