Title: Say hi to the new guy!!
Post by: davidhburton on March 24, 2010, 04:59:07 PM
Hi there! I'm new!

I grew up in my early years as a Jehovah Witness, going door-to-door with my dad until I was about seven years old. Then he became a born again Christian - still not sure which was worse.

For the next ten years I was in sunday school, bible camp, youth group, and study group. I finally got away from it all when I moved away for university.

Been on the path to freedom ever since!

Cheers!
David

Hi David - Welcome!

That's quite a journey you've had.

Always good to meet another agnostic... I think ;-)

Thanks everyone!!

What's really funny right now is that the google ad running on the forum is trying to sell me bible software! #adfail!!

They are something of a tough crowd, but I'm finding their youth to be a little different. Still filled with hypocrisy, still brainwashed, but strangely modern. It's kinda weird actually.
