It would be great if it could be put on this forum when they first log on. It makes the scared lurkers feel invited ,non threatning and a warm welcome. Great idea

That is a great idea!

"Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord." Isaiah 1:18
"Prove all things; hold that which is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15
"I myself will give you power of utterance and a wisdom which no opponent will be able to resist or refute."
"The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him." Proverbs 18:17
The above scriptures would seem to strongly encourage the use of reason, logic and independant thinking. If your faith is based on emotion, (fear and guilt) it is a house built on sand.
For the most part, we are gentle and respectful in spite of our Witness training to the contrary.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I feel like I have found true friends that won't judge me because I am not doing well in the "truth."

I was wondering.......why aren't you attending more mettings? Why don't you go door to door more often? Don't you fear Jehovah?
I just HAD to tease you at least once!

Suzyque you've made my day!
I honestly felt that if just one person could be encouraged to make their first post here that would be a good thing. Good for you! I look forward to reading your thoughts and experiences. I know you're going to make some friends here.
Ian!
Alright mate?!! How are Claire and the kids? If you'd like to meet up again, I was thinking of attending the workshop in High Wycombe that Sirona posted about. Only problem is that it's on a Saturday - it's much easier for me to get away in the week. Still I'll see what I can do.All the very best,

Nic,
I don't want to hijack this thread because it's soooooo good! I can't make the workshop - but I'm in contact with the organiser. We'll perhaps meet up somewhere else. Do you still have my 'phone number?
Well done with your work!
