Welcome Chickenlips ( where or why did you come up with that name ? LOL ) I first saw your post a few days ago and gave it a miss ,I wonder why ? lol.
Yes I`m an Aussie among one of many that post here from time to time ,me I think I`m addicted to the site..
A lot of great well intentioned knowledgeable people about the JW religion who can offer wise counsel that probably excludes me.
However you do mention the Brisbane area and I spent 37 years in Brisbane ,a lot of the time as an active JW.
So maybe we do have something in common.
I will send you a pm and see where we go from there.
