[VoidCat]

You've been around forever, but we've all forgotten that 2-line blurb you wrote about yourself the day you joined RF. Your posts are insightful, touching, informative, uplifting and clever. Okay, once in a while they are puzzling and annoying! Sometimes they make us wonder what kind of a person is sitting at the keyboard.

We want to know more about you -- now that we sort of think we know you. If -- and only if -- you have met any of the following criteria, you are invited to re-introduce yourself on this thread:

1. Been a member for at least 8 months and have at least 2400 posts to your credit
2. Been a member for at least 10 months and have at least 2000 posts to your credit
3. Been a member for least 12 months and have at least 1200 posts to your credit.

Please refresh our memories. Who are you and where are you from? How old are you? Are you male or female? Are you married or single? Straight or gay? Catholic, Wiccan, Jewish, Muslim or something else?

Okay, a lot of that stuff is on your profile, but a lot of other stuff isn't. What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What are your pet peeves? Do you have any hopes and dreams you'd like to share? What are your hobbies and interests? What kind of work do you do? What are your favorite movies, books, places to visit? What's your favorite food, your favorite color, your favorite time of year? Do you have kids? Pets? You get my drift...

We want to make this a fun thread where we can all get to know one another better. We also want to make posting on it a goal some of the newbies can set for themselves. Would one of our illustrious admins care to make the first post?

I want to do this as I've been on here almost two years but I don't have that many posts only 987 posts. Guess I have to wait lol.This is what I get for disappearing for several months.

You can have some of mine. Help yourself.

 

[Katzpur]

I want to do this as I've been on here almost two years but I don't have that many posts only 987 posts. Guess I have to wait lol.This is what I get for disappearing for several months.

I posted this thread back in 2006, back when this website was considerably smaller than it is now. Besides, there's no rule saying you can't "re-introduce" yourself at any time. And if you'll notice, I'm not even on the staff or anything. It was just me, wanting to get to know a few posters I hadn't really gotten to know back when they first started posting. So, Ray... Have at it! Tell us all about yourself, particularly if you haven't already done so on the new members forum.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

My latest adventures involve me discovering more about myself and my religious beliefs. Becoming more independent and realizing that I only need people if our paths align enough so that we can connect and truly be good friends. I've been studying Satanism and agree with a few philosophies, but don't call me a Satanist as I also love the more right hand path elements found in Hinduism as well as I mediate using New Age techniques. I've well given up on the Baha'i faith after I learned my love of Krishna and the Trimurti was greater than my love of anything found in the Abrahamic faith. I stopped calling myself a Hindu seeker and starting calling myself of the Hindu faith when asked. I think Hinduism and New Age are compatible as well, but, that's just my belief. Definitely a little syncretic in my faith.

I'm finding myself a bit introverted these days as usual. I've tried to be more of an ambivert, but it ended in both success and failure, so to speak.

Wow. There is someone new on the notables list. I just wanted to make that evident and I found this one.

What makes me sad? Discrimination.

Hobbies. Religious Forums.

Favorite food. Everything!

I have kids.

Movies. Stories on the moving screen. Mad Men. OMG! That would be against the RULES of the Jehovah's Witnesses***

What makes me happy? Freedom!

I am from the USA but when my mom ran away from my dad for a while, I lived in Sweden for nine months which I believe is funny. I do not believe a child was born there. I mean, one related to me.

Pet Peeves? (I love you @Katzpur I really do! and I think that you are a great advertisement for your own religion). I have too many to bother you with much.

I am 65 Which reminds me of the @Revoltingest and @The bear who is still working.

I don't want to talk about married or single Which reminds me of @Sunstone Hi!

I think I might be straight as opposed to gay. Sigh.

Hopes. I hope I never drink too much again. Also, that I will lose my winter fat. Even today, after I have cleaned up the wood-stove-aria (I know that's not right) I want to light another fire...

I do not work much. I am retired.

I just read a good book. I forgot the title, but I can look it up....it is still here somewhere.

My favorite movie-movie is Forest Gump. Of course!

Places to visit. That is the most interesting question, I think. Now, I have some pressure on me like God is saying, "Don't". OK, I won't. God says I might have another drink. I say, HAHA

*** Drinking..I lot! Sex...stupid stuff... Drugs too...we do not know too much about those yet.









***Oh, shut up!

Pagan witch Quaker.Non Christian but looking into christo-paganism

no longer a quaker. No longer looking into christopaganism. Now looking into demonIatry, theistic satanism and Luciferianism trying to decide how I want to work with Lucifer. Still a pagan worshiping Norse gods Hela, Angrboda,Sigyn, and Loki.

[VoidCat]

Mixing both wanting to work with Lucifer and wanting to work with pagan deities. Read what I wrote by religion.
