Remember me...Natalie..from this weekend?
Oh my GOODNESS!!! Are you kidding???? Do I remember you???
I was about to email you when I got through with some prior "things-to-do" and say how awful I felt at not being able to talk with you more and explain that I thought you were gesturing to someone behind me and not to ME! I also wanted to get a picture of you, but I never could find you after that!
I was very touched (along with everyone else) by what you said on Saturday morning.....you were SO down-to-earth and just genuinely likeable as you related your experience. It was hard not to run right up and hug you were you stood! (LOL!)
What an amazing group of people. It is the most healing experience an ex JW can have.
THAT'S for sure! I didn't realize how badly I was still hurting inside until this weekend....and it was so eye-opening on so many levels for me. EVERY former JW deserves to treat themselves to at least ONE of these conventions.
Natalie....you are a real sweetie and it was my pleasure to meet you. You have touched my heart.
love and hugs always,
Annie

OutaService....Maybe you can plan to attend next year. Those of us who'd like to be there can make plans to meet each other etc. It IS a unique and special experience! I am already looking forward to next year.

I just have to add one more thing to anyone who reads this topic.
Many of us consider ourselves healed. I know I did. I had never attended the Witness Now For Jesus Conference before. I out finding a greater peace at a different level than before.
If you have never attended I hope you consider going next year. It will be Friday October 19th through Sunday October 21st 2007.
It is and easy drive....the grounds are beautiful. They use the Blue Mountain Retreat to hold the conference.
There number to reserve a room is...........570-386-2154............They require a small deposit.
Hope to see many of you there next year.

I thought it so funny( Gods Humor) Sue & Bill who drove me to PA( she is my daughter) On entering her home after this 4 days of intense lovefest. A lady came to her door WHO I STUDIED with when she was NOT one.....My Sue spoke to her for 20 minuits about the "LOVE" ?of the JW & the REAL LOVE of the EX JWS --- Sue was offered tha phamplet they are giving out. She was able to say No we saw that in the EXJWS convention. ----Unlike the JWS --- we dont follow an organization we follow CHRIST!!!! She stayed & listened.... Talked about the shunning my other daughter( jw) does to me ...& how I have never done the things ( while a jw) they d/f for....OH Boy I think talk about the right time to knock on a door....So pray for Mrs Ladoceor that is how I remember her.... Maybe she got some planted seed!!! now to see it grow....
