    hi scootergirl :)

    Hi again, scootergirl.

    I had some friends in St. Cloud about 20 years ago. Of course you remember that I live in the Minneapolis area too.

    Hi Scootergirl,

    I'm just south of the cities. I've only been here for six weeks, so I have to look at a map to find St. Cloud!

    If Harmony, Gopher and Thirdson are examples of how cool ex-dubs are here, then we're in good shape. I hope to get to meet you someday.

    gopher........20 years ago would have been during my prime time. I was df about 16 years ago.

    lauralisa ...I am just North of the Cities!

    garybuss...you are RIGHT! You should be here NOW! Was in your lovely state last year for Sturgis! What a beautiful part of the country! Planning on going back for the rally next year!

    Lady Lee...I attended the International Convention of JW in Winepeg in 1976 (?) was that then? Can't remember.

    peaceloveharmony...You aren't that far from me!

    Okay..now that I know there are Minnesotans among us when are we gonna plan a get together?

    Scootergirl,

    The apostofests are so fun we cannot let the secret out on a public board like this!!!

    But here's my story and I'm sticking to it: A bunch of ex-JW's and people they know get together for food, drink and fun. There are no prayers or kingdom songs. There are no lectures. They are simply informal gatherings at any place of our choice -- a park, a restaurant, or someone's backyard, where we can put names and faces together.

    Now... promise you'll keep this all secret from the JW's, ok??? LOL

    Ours is at a secret location in the Twin Cities area on June 30. You will get more details soon, or I'm not a rodent.
