Hey guys, I went to the party this afternoon, and Mouthy wanted me to post about it and let you know that she is really busy with company right now, but will post again sometime soon.
Anyway, Mouthy's party was lots of fun--almost everyone there were ex-JWs. I really enjoyed meeting them and talking about their experiences. They all had their eyes opened in different ways--for some it was a gradual awakening, for others it was a sudden unexpected scripture verse and bingo, the blinders were off! One lady said for some reason she kept praying to Jehovah not to be brain-washed, and as a result she could never understand the WT articles. Another lady couldn't understand the NWT and so she acquired many other versions that she would read to help her understand. The elders were shocked by her pile of Bibles and commentaries when they found out.
Mouthy was surrounded by love and best wishes and yes there was cake! We all sang and gave presents. Some posters on JWD had sent flowers. It was a lovely time. Almost as much fun as those apostafests look!
