I'd be curious to know how many of us have been here since 2005 and how many wonderful people we have brought in since then.
I'd be interested to see if certain parts of certain years drew a lot more people in, and if there was a SF event that caused it. Oh course, if I just wanted the list of people I could just look it up, but I want to see the list from those who are active members. Anyway, I'll look forward to seeing the results.

October or, more likely, November.
I remember I had finished seminary in June, hadn't been able to find a fill in job being in Podunk Iowa, couldn't find an open pastorate, and was on the verge of insanity (some things never change). I had to do something to keep me sane and connected. After seeing Rev White speak, and had occasion to chat with him a little, decided to check out Soulforce. Except for occasional lapses, I am still here - like a bad fart - umm, I mean penny.

Danny, what the HECK is the premise of that musical? It likes like a Twilight Zone episode.
![]() Jennifer, I signed up the day the forum was first announced to the Soulforce email subscribers. I'm like an original forumite from the early mesozoic.

I joined Soulforce in June (I believe of 2007). I stayed active until my brother's illness in December but then fell away due to his constant needs, but found my way back this past summer. I have been searching my brain to try and remember how I even heard of Soulforce or even found it but, as of yet, I do no have the slightest clue. I do know that when I came, I felt very welcome and I felt like I had found a home. The people on the forum were so full of information that I would read and read for hours at a time. I had all ready come to grips with my sexuality and had reconciled it with my faith in God, but Soulforce became an affirmation of what I all ready knew in my heart.

I joined in May of 2008. I found Soulforce because I was doing some research online about what the Bible says about different topics like drinking alcohol, cussing, homosexuality, etc. When I researched homosexuality, I found Mel White's book What the Bible says - and doesn't say - About Homosexuality. What an eye-opener. After reading the book, I signed up on the forums and have been reading and absorbing the amazing intelligence and unconditional love offered here. This site has been life-changing for me personally.

I found Soulforce through Stranger at the Gate. Dec. 2005 (12/1/05 I think, have to check again). It's been an amazing 3 years!!
Wow, this brings me to a thread I wanted to start. But perhaps this is the perfect place to say it?? I'm SO thankful for Soulforce, the forums and all of you. Because of our conversations over the last 3 years, I am in a place where I can easily work with a very eclectic group of people, of all faiths and backgrounds. I can value their experiences and beliefs and use it all collectively to do our work. We are working on reaching out to faiths (right now Christian congregations), bringing an excellent course on marriage equality, Living Lovingly, into churches and opening dialogue with church members. A similar course is being developed for the Jewish faith, and there will be others. Our group is really wonderful, powerful and a complete joy. I love them all. Without Soulforce, I wouldn't be quite in the position I am now, ready to go forward and get started. We had initial training yesterday, and have 5 churches signed up right now and working on more. Plus we are helping others in different geographical locations so they can move forward to. Thanks to all of you for your lessons and friendship. It has meant, and still means so much to me. I can never express the full amount of gratitude that I feel for all of you. ![]()
