[Daryl Fawcett]

Lil Star to Advent Talk.

You are also welcome to join us over in our sister forum at Maritime SDA OnLine, soon to be possibly renamed to Maritime Adventism OnLine.

[Lil Star]

Thank you Daryl for your welcome and your request that I could join your other forum. Right now I just need to feel safe at first. I went through quite a beating where I came from. I do not wish that to happen here. One forum at a time. Please.

But, thank you so very much for your welcome.

Hi Lil Star.   I should be introducing myself too.....I am known to Ozzie and come from the Land Down Under.

[Daryl Fawcett]

The "land down under" seems to be getting more represented here.

Thank you Emma for your welcome!  I am really into trying to meet some christian people. The ones I have met so far on the forums make me want to vomit! I know that there has to be something to the SDA religion that is good. I was invited here and lurked for awhile. This place seems like it can be safe. I will be testing the waters so to speak. So far though, it seems pretty nice and 'comfortable'.  The 'land down under', is that Australia? Or is that the place I just came from?

Hi ya'll,

I am a wife and mom of 2 great boys on the Eastern seaboard. (Never knew just why it was called that...?) Won't be on here a lot, but will voice my opinion occasionally on things that catch my interest.

I had better let the Kiwis from New Zealand also lay claim to the Land Down Under label, I do live in Australia ......where you have been is another place, I am sure this LDU is much better

Lil and Emma. It's good to have you both here and I'm proud to be one of those from 'down under'! Yep. Spot on - it's Australia

Don't give up Lil. There is good and bad in everything. I have found many of the people here are really nice to get to know. I hope that you do feel comfortable and 'safe'. I do and enjoy AT for that reason.

I no longer participate in 'Forum-hopping'. Too much negativity and too time consuming, although there are a couple I visit intermittently. I have come across too many nasty posters and don't want my life filled with that kind of ill-feeling and negativity, as it tends to drown one in it's ugliness. Take care and enjoy AT.

Thank you Ozzie!  From everything I have heard, this is a wonderful place to be. I am sinking it in right now. I have seen some strong points being made and yet, no one reverts to name calling, no putting down of anyone, just a nice clean forum so far. I am really glad to have had friends ask me to join here. But I needed to be able to see what it was like so that I would know just what type of forum this really was. I came from (what I could feel and see) a very abusive forum. One that those little pets and if you were not one of the 'pets', you are nothing and their time was better spent not even validating a persons concerns. I see that Daryl and others do validate people here. That is what attracted me here. People seem to be just a better I would like to say bunch, but that sounds bad, I'd like to say classy, but that would not be right either. (even though it may be right) I think this will be a safe place to be. That is what I am  for it to be. Time will tell.
If I have missed anyone and their welcome to me, thank you  everyone that has welcomed me to this forum. Almost sounds like a family atmosphere here.

Hello and  Lil, Emma and Scratsmom. Nice to see so many joining AT.

  I brought a lot of people with me!     Sorry, I didn't but thought I might want to take credit since they came at the same time I did. 

  Chrissy for the warm welcome.

Hello and  Lil, Emma and Scratsmom. Nice to see so many joining AT.

Thanks, Chrissie. I was a lurker from the beginning, but when the topics I was most interested in went "underground", I decided I had to make it official.

Been here a while and decided to post as I needed the 6 to get into the 3ABN area.  Came from Black SDA where I still go as I like it there.  I am from WA state and am the "grandmother" of "Bernie" a 12 week old boxer/lab mix pound puppy.  He belongs to my son who lives with me.  He is the cutest thing in the world but needs to get that you potty outside.  I generally lurk but on occasion someone else will not say what I wanted to so I will post. Am not to internet savvy but an learning.
