    Sounds great. Just to clarify though, it will be EX- JWs not JWs wanting reform?

    Thanks waiting. We are looking forward to going. We have missed being able to give support to those in NH and Canada and Washington State by being present. I am ready to see what I can do to help other than posting on JWD.
