  Well, I had the pleasure of spending a few hours in Little Five Points, Atlanta, arguably the most bohemian neighborhood that we have here. Always a freak-fest, so probably a good location for the meeting. j/k

  Funny anecdote, I was the only one that was there at the meeting time and walked around asking people if they were here for the exjw meetup. One woman asked what it was, so I explained. She said, and I quote: "that's great. I like it when people get out of cults!". She obviously knew the truth about JWs.

  I had the pleasure of meeting John P. from Conyers; unfortunately he was the only other exjw besides me that showed up, out of 8 RSVPs. Oh well. Better luck next time? John and I traded life stories and discussed our religious and philosophical outlooks.

  I invite everyone else who took part in the JW meetups around the country to post your experience here.

  Thanks,

  Unfortunately ours in Oakland was cancelled due to lack of RSVPs. July 4th is a busy weekend, so maybe next time? :)

  Well, the meetup was cancelled in my area. I was hoping you would have announced a location anyway so that lurkers would show up! Please announce a location next time, maybe not everyone who comes here can respond by RSVP.

  Just my suggestion.
