Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

Hi!

I've been on CF 2 years, but am new to WWMC.

Just a weird, strange, crazy, liberal Christian Pantheist.

Hi Gracie

I usually consider myself as a moderate, but I'm finding that what passes for moderate in Seattle is usually considered liberal anywhere east of I-5 (and on this forum) so I think I'll be dropping by here from time to time if you all don't mind

I love it hear already!

Hi everybody! I'm not exactly new here, so many of you know me already, but I'll introduce myself anyway, for the benefit of those I haven't met yet.

I'm, er... what am I exactly? Oh, yes! A child of the living God! Though I love to hang out here for the good company and the good conversation I'm not all that liberal. By theology, I guess I'm sort of a charismatic Anglican-Lutheran with emerging church tendencies.

And I'm from Seattle (hi Speculative!

), a very liberal town. But that's a good thing sometimes: I managed to find a good church home with an Assemblies of God church. That's a Pentecostal denomination that I suspect would be too conservative for me anywhere but in Seattle... but the Seattle version seems to suit me pretty well.

What else? I'm a life-long tomboy/girl geek with a Peter Pan complex, 53 years old and still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I make my living as a pc tech. I love reading, especially SF and mysteries. I'm a political junkie (conservative side of libertarian) and a history buff.

Glad to know you all!

Hi Izdaari

I know of a very excellent AoG church in Seattle

Hi, not exactly new, but I am new to WWMC.

Thought I would drop by on advice from TheManeki.

I am a structural geologist looking to escape the confines of bible literalists.

Hi CaDan - that is a very interesting name! May I ask how you thought it up?

You wouldn't have heard the story . . . .

My name is not Dan and I have never been to California.

I signed up for CF after seebs nagged me for a few weeks. At the time I signed up, we were preparing to go to trial against a junk fax defendant named CaDan. So seebs would recognize me, I chose a name he would immediately recognize.

I never really intended to keep the name or stay around the site this long. I have occasionally changed my name (Baldrick, SmokyGirl, and SpaceCat), but I keep coming back to CaDan.

That's an awesome story. By the way, I have a friend (a lawyer) who used to do junk fax suits. He used to work for a lawyer firm in Cleveland, OH but has now moved to Atlanta, GA.
