Steve and Diana,
Welcome to FAF. When you are ready, tell us more of your journey with Jesus.
God is so awesome in how He brings his children to him.

Steve and Diana, welcome to the forum. Fantastic and supportive group of people here. And Belvalew, what city exactly near San Francisco if you don't mind saying. I was born and raised in Richmond right across the bay-the bad side of town no less. The gossip is we all became cops or cons from there. Fortunately God led me into the police work side. But now I live in Yolo County-two counties north of there. Not as much to bomb here in the country. We don't even have a stop light or a gas station. We have a big casino though-Cache Creek. CW

Steve and Diana,

I've found this site has been such a great place to come when I've needed it. I hope you find the same. Jesus is the big deal here. Because we don't do the surface smile very well here, but say it like it is, you might occasionally notice some back and forth on issues, only because real live people post on this site and it's a process leaving Adventism. Despite occasions of that you will see Jesus and truth being very important on this site, and very refreshing. WELCOME

Anyone here from Portland Oregon? If so, would you be interested in discussing starting a FAF in our area? Startdoc57, Salem's not too far away-would you be interested in discussing a FAF group?

Tim, Thanks for geting the ball rolling! Let's start soaking this in prayer. I can't wait to meet you and U2! I can't help but stand in awe of the God that is once again providing for every need! Less than a week ago, I was crying out to God for fellowship with someone who understands what leaving SDAism is like. God answers prayer! Praise Him!

Joyfulheart, I have also been praying for fellowship with formers in this area. I live in South Central Michigan and have been lurking on this forum for about 5 years. Thank-you Colleen and Richard for this very important ministry! It was an answer to prayer.

U2, Joyfulheart and Teresa. Welcome Teresa! Jeff Baron Emailed me and said that Dirk Anderson would come to a meeting! This might be bigger than I imagined!

I agree with Joyfulheart and will pray, this already seems to be a major "God thing"

Timmy,

Thanks for getting this going. I gave my email address to Richard since I think he may have an old email address on file. Praying!

Teresa,

Welcome to the Fellowship. What self comtrol you have had to have lurked for 5 years. You probably know most of us by now, so when you are comfortable please share your journey with us.

As you well know we do not bite. You may hear the occasional growl, and sometimes an occasion yelp it someones paw gets stepped on.

All questions and questioners are respected, and we attempt to exercise grace and love, as we are all on an exciting journey with a freedom that allows discovery and growth in Jesus.

Welcome again,

Randy

Hi Teresa,

I'm so glad you decided to post! It took me a while, too. It's so nice to know you're in Michigan! I bet we're not too far apart. The fellowship group forming is so exciting! God is answering prayer! I've been praying that people who have been lurking for a while - like me and you will come "out of the woodwork." We were never meant to go it alone. I am in awe of my God and how He is working! Praise Him!

You are indeed among friends! Again... welcome!

Joyfulheart
