  Bingo!! After nearly 3 1/2 years living in this "dead zone" they call knoxville I have finally met up with someone local from the board. Her name is michelle and she is from Louisiana and has just recently started posting here. She seemed like a really nice person and we had a long talk about our experiences growing up in the organization. Its about time someone local has come to this board, I have felt like the lone "apostate" for the last several years. Anyway I just thought I would share this.

  You are one of the lucky ones to have a friend from this board live in your area.

  Seems like I'm the only one in the Pittsburgh, PA area here...................all the other dubs are loyal to the borg............guess I'm a very very bad person..........LOL

  Okay Junction-Guy, you're weirding me out here. My name is Michelle, originally from Louisiana, and I just started posting here. I'm also looking to relocate to Knoxville( with my husband). I know I haven't spoken to you before, though.

  I feel like a loner down here in Alabama, too.

  The EX-Jehovah Witness Meet-UP is a great way of meeting folks in your area. We did that and have gained may new friends. You all check it out for your area.

  Whew! I thought this was going to be some kinda "day after" scenario playing out in Bluegrass country! "Come west, but carefully!, small groups of survivors have fashioned a pyramid out of glass scraps and have the makings of a crude music industry. Be sure to bring lots of salt pork and a banjo, or they'll kill you and eat you". "Whatever you do, make a wide berth of Nashville".

  Awwwwww, come on Sixy, haven't you heard the song by Alabama ?? "If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band. " Go to Billy Bobs and get some kickin music and look at the cowgirls in tight pants. Bug

  HEY NOW STOP THAT! I used to live in Knoxville and I do NOT play a banjo.

  er.. I play a dulcimer.. but anyway I grew up farther up in the hills then Knoxville. We thought Knoxville was Metropolis when me and my friends were growing up.
