    As soon as there is one somewhere in British Columbia, Canada I'm on the road! Can hardly wait ! It will be the final high-five to my messy, painful escape 30 years ago!

    Would love to go to one sometime - as a matter of fact have been in private conversation with one of the posters here just today on that subject. We are busy raising our g-kids - are kids allowed. Do these things get wild ? Just curious - no axe to grind - just wondered how these things are? Just like a picnic? Or more adult-oriented than that?

    I'd guess that depending upon the personalities involved, some are more tame than others. ExJWs are (to outsiders) still very similar to JWs fyi.

    DY, I think you need a good pinching by Valis! Apostafests, at least the ones I've attended and hosted, are fun! We've never had anyone be obnoxious or a problem to themselves or others, and it's just great to meet face-to-face with the people we talk to almost every day on this forum.

    The tale about Gumby and the sheep is an urban legend. Honest.

    Minimus how are the ex dubs perceived by the non dubs as being dubs? I think most have changed a great deal after leaving the borg.

    Reading some of the replies demonstrates that some have still the Watchtower picture of apostates in their brain.

    Englishman's BBQ was a noraml garden party. At 8ish we left for the pub that would close at 11 - very early for a German.

    To at least one outsider, the Witness "look" still exists. Take that for what you wish but to this person, (not me) they seemed still to be JWs at heart and in spirit.

    I was a little nervous when people started to come in at the N.E. Apostafest, but after 2 minutes, I just felt like I already knew them all. Before this, I only met Zev and Somebody.

    As for drinking, I think I drank more than anybody. . 2 and a half beers.

    3, and I fall down, but that's besides the point.

    I would do it all over again, in a minute. I had a super time.We all did. Everybody felt comfortable with each other.
