can't everyone just put this one item on their profile before posting.
it seems like most posters have no profile, but this info could help in several ways.
i am just guessing, but it seems like more here were born in.....your thoughts on this?......oompa.
Dinah,
I think It would be harder for a "Born-In" to leave the witnesses. It's all you've ever known.... To go out on your own, into a world that to some, is very foreign... I commend you all...
As for why one would convert to such, for me it's the same ole, same ole... they got to me at a very low time in my life. I blabbed it all in my profile...
Coming out was easier for me, I had no family in and a whole family to run to. I wish it were as simple for others.

Converted 1984, it's in my profile. I agree it would be nice to know.
one where you were actually given a paycheck, & where did you end up after that , if you're in the mood to tell ?
there are a lot of intelligent people here with, i assume, some very interesting occupations.... but hey, we all had to start somewhere........ for myself, my first real job was at a local clothing store, imagine my surprise when at the age of 18 i realized just how much items were marked up...!!!
i priced the clothes at 3 times the cost to the store.
Robdar, What a cool first job....
Joelbear.... You have been one "Busy" man... Amazing..!
