I think we should require Sparkplug to wear her chinaman Halloween costume to the party.
Jen, Apostafests are get togethers for those who post here, and have a geniune interest in the whole JW/xJW thing. You do not actually have to be an xJW though.
I have been to a few, 4 total in the Dallas area, and they are all casual get togethers, nice and friendly. It is a great way to meet new people when you are leaving the JWs, people that understand the mindset we had to live with as JWs...or living with JWs...etc...
