Wertbag Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just checked my joining date: 19 Nov 2005... I've been a member here for 14 years! I don't think there's any other site that I have returned to after all this time. And I can't remember how I came across it in the first place, probably an external link to the testimonials... Educational, amusing and a real diverse mix of folks. Thanks to everyone for making these forums such a fun and interesting place. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

★ Citsonga ★ Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 June 24, 2009 here, so that's 10 years for me. I had participated on the Skeptics Annotated Bible message board (with a different user name) for probably a couple years prior to that. I then took a break, fully intending to go back after a month or two, but then didn't bother. Later I found this site and have been here ever since, though recently I haven't been posting as much as I used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

older Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 9. What I like is the intelligent discussions by knowledgable folks who excel at debate, logic and philosophy and who write well and in complete sentences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
◊ Weezer ◊ Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've been here couple of years. Hung around the ex-church of Christ site for a while, but as one person said, a lot of them had left the Church building, but not the parking lot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhim Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 @Wertbag, wow, you are indeed an old hand here. You inspired me to check my own join date. In about a month and a half it will have been 7 years for me. Back when you joined this site I was still a believing Christian. I deconverted in the summer of 2009, and joined this site about 3 and a half years later. I feel like it's been forever, which I consider a good thing. At this point I can scarcely remember what it was like to be a Christian. Yet I still strongly identify as an ex-Christian and detest Jesus as much as I did when I left the faith. I'm glad to have this communit of ex-Christians. We may be a philosophically diverse mix of people. Yet I feel that our common attribute of having escaped the influence of Jesus lends us a common trait that is very rare in the general population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed 14 back in July. I remember being a newbie. I was in my thirties, trying to figure out what it meant to be deconverted and how to deal with life without religion. I just turned 50 and see that everything I thought mattered never actually did. mwc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
