Hi Frankie, and thanks for the topic. I didn't ever really make a note of letting everyone know I'd decided to join. Just a small "hi" back a ways ago.
So what made me post? I'd been lurking for a few days. (Just like most people, apparently.) Then I came upon this hilarious thread about disgusting food...it made me laugh so hard. So I went and signed up and here I am...thoroughly enjoying this new group of friends. You all know why you're special; its the reason everyone's here.
My story in a nutshell:
I'm 26, I live in the dairy state (Wisconsin, USA for "out of towners") and I work at a hospital. I grew up a witness, never got baptised and left when they'd had enough of my insubordination (removed). It has been a lot of painful years of ignoring my previous life. But a recent reinterest in my spiritual side let me to a big searching, which lead to typing "Jehovah's Witnesses" on the search engine. 3/4 of my family's JW and the other 1/4 is LDS. Crazy family mix = plenty of issues = my new addiction to this website...because I don't feel so lonely. You have all been so genuine, thank you.

Editetd to add that this little verse was taught to me years ago by a faltering JW. She wasn't respected in her congregation no matter how hard she tried. Finally she just gave up. Karen, if you ever read this, I still remember. I hope you are doing well.
