Hey Everyone! Tink and I attended our first apostate meetup here in Tn. It was absolutely great. It is alot better to actually talk face to face with those you only imagine what they may be like in person. We had about 13 or 14 show up at Starbucks on Edmonson Pike. Bill Bowen rode down from Ky on his motorcycle with his young son. Joe and Barbara Anderson where also there. WorldlyGirl, Noidea her daughter and niece, recoveringexjw, Myself and her husband, and a few who have not yet been to JW.Com. We got here about 4:45 and Bill and Noidea where there already. By 5:30 everyone was there. Bill shared alot of things with us as to what he has been doing recently with Silentlambs. I would rather Bill tell you all so as not to miss anything. It was great meeting Barbara and Joe. She is very sweet and Joe is a very loving and kind man. Tink took a bunch of Pic's and when she gets up later she'll post them. Barbara and Bill shared alot of things with us concerning how the Pedophile Scandal evolved. Barbara also had told us alot about the inner workings of the WTS and alot of history. I am so overwhelmed from taking in all this info that my brain is like jelly..LOL. I'll be able to share more when I've had a few cups of Java. We stayed till about 9:00. Bill had left around 8:00 as he had a 140 mile commute back to his home in Ky. Tink and I were invited to visit at Worldly girls home afterwards and met her husband and a friend. She is such a sweet girl and her husband is a very nice guy. Thank you for your hospitality WG. You have gone through alot in your life, thank you for sharing it with Tink and I.
Bill,Barbara and Joe, Myself, Noidea, Recoveringexjw,Tim, John and his wife, it was fantastic to meet you all. Bill, Thanks so much for taking the time to drive to Tn. to meet with us. Barbara and Joe also had a long drive. Thanks so much to everyone! I hope I didn't leave anyone out. It was Great! Look forward to the next one.
