  SpiceItUp,

  I have been going to two or three conventions a year since I left the WT about ten years ago. I wish I could get to them all, but I can't.

  The ones I go to are Christian. There are sessions with "talks", a lot of singing, and much getting together, before, between, and after sessions. Usually there is a cafeteria where a lot of conversation happens.

  I have met many ex-jws at the conventions who are in different stages of their life, after the WT. While the conventions are Christian, I have met some who are not Christian, some who are searching, etc. I have always observed, all, being welcomed and treated with brotherly love.

  I really enjoy the conventions and hope there is never a time when I cannot go to at least one or two each year.

  SpiceItUp,

  BRCI had a convention in Florida once. They may have another one there sometime.

  The biggest one, that I know of, is in Pennsylvania in October. There are some around the country, but as far as I know, the one in Penn. would be the closest to you right now.

  Thank you for the support

  by Erica in

  i can't find the words that would express how grateful i am for all the support, not only for all of you to back me on the dateline show but for my trial as well.

  i don't think i would have had the courage to go through the trauma if it wasn't for all your prayers and encouragement.

  dateline was a huge help for many and i know this because i have recieved quite a few calls, one from a current jdub who wants out for the safety of his 16 month old baby, i was so excited that he lifted the veil and saw it for the pure truth that it was.

  Hi Erica,

  I am glad things are going well for you. I have heard that my family watched Dateline. I am sure it had an affect on them, although I do not know to what extent yet. May God continue to bless you.

  Barb,

  Yes that is the Dannie, he and Allen have become good friends.

  Waiting,

  And I didn't know that the founder brother of TrimLine is now an xjw. Always heard he was a smart guy

  Please don't let him know you heard that, his head is too big already.

  Hi Barb,

  Yes, you do. I will be flying out of your airport in two weeks. Going to Dan's convention and spending about two and a half weeks roaming California with my son and Dannie from near Columbus. We intend to visit Lost Wages also.

  Insider said:

  The FACT that anyone actually clicked on the title "Governing Body member rumors" and replied to it, reveals that all who did were curiously interested in such. There's a FACT.

  The reason I read the thread was, I was wondering if there was a rumor that any governing body member may have become a Christian.
