    The meetup was really nice, and a beautiful location. I met a couple that were in my congregation a few years ago, such a pleasant surprise as I didn't know they had move onwards and upwards.

    There were a few elders, it seems a lot of those leaving in Aust have held positions of responsibility and 'priviledges', maybe these are the ones that get to see the realism of the WTS more clearly.

    Hey, where were ya froggy?

    Heretic was there, so was Mrs Ozzie and guess who? But really, Mrs ozzie and I were so glad we could make it. We only decided at the last but hope we can be more 'prepared' next time.

    I met someone from the past too. How surprised we both were to see each other! But how glad!!

    Its probably never going to happen but I have an Aunt and Uncle who used to live in the Sydney area and maybe now Melbourne. They are called Sharon and Joseph Fennah - they have three boys - my cousins - who I have never met because I got Dfed. So if they ever leave - and you know them - tell them I'd love to make contact.

    Crumpet,

    I think that these are the same people that were in my congregation a few years ago. I know the boys, very shy like their dad with blond hair. Last I heard Jo stopped going to meetings as he never felt welcome by the brothers. He helped install my security system, so if Joseph does security systems it could be the same couple.

    Please pm me for more details as there is more information that you should know. like, I can probably track them down for them.

FOR ATTENDEES ONLY. i understand a few people would like to remain anon They are taken by my girlfriend so mostly shots of that little blonde girl that made her clucky (very cute) and me playing soccer and cricket. a few good action shots, unfortunately no group shots. it was an awesome day it seemed everyone knew someone from 'inside' some funny stories too. I think i was the only one dfed for fornication everyone else was done for apostasy, how liberating.. i hope its a growing trend

    I'd love to be there, but it's a bit too far at the moment.

    It is great to see you here. Welcome to you and you ex-JW mates.

    I wish there were enough Kiwis here for a meetup.

    Cheers from NZ.

    Oops, I see I have missed it already.

    I hope you all had a great time.

    I also hope you had some of my cuzzies there, but that is a bit much to hope for, really.

    Cheers

    Chris
