    jwbot,

    The last couple months I went to meetings, I didn't bother even holding a song book, just stood there quietly. Kinda like what a JW does during the National Anthem or flag salute. I gotta lot of looks... but what are they gonna do?

    I think you should go around the assembly telling people you are a pioneer!

    I went to a DC last year with my wife. It was much more tolerable because I took a discreet novel to read...and then at lunch, we went out. I usually had a beer or two...and we left early to join my worldly friends for dinner. My wife still buys into the crap, but at least she's "liberal" about things. She knows I sacraficed for her to even go at all...so she didn't rub it in.

    This year, I made sure she got to the convention. I had a brilliant ( If I do say so myself) plan. I flew her down to West Palm Beach, FL over memorial day weekend. My mom and her went to the convention there while dad and I cruised the beaches in a mustang convertible that I rented. They got their religion fix and the priviledge of eating cheese and crackers on uncomfortable seats while dad and I got our fix of hot chicks in spandex at hooter's, bikinis at the beach, and our fill of wings and beer. Hey, everybody won this year.

    jwbot, you are braver than me. I could hardly stand reading the reviews on JWD (though I appreciate them immensely).

    I ran into a brother who went to the convention. All he could talk about was the awful hotel room and the parking. No spiritual tidbit to share.

    Many of the young JWs In the area are pieced and tattoed up. So I doubt youll get stares.

    The Maine Center for the Arts is at the University of Maine in Orono. Stop on by! :)

    When?

    Orono is a fair hike from Kittery, but depending on when it is, I just might stop on by.

    Stef: I think they still have the contricution boxes, its a good idea about putting papers with certain websites addresses on them...hm....

    No Apologies: Hmm...maybe I should tell them I am a pioneer and elders wife and my facial haired fiance is the elder!

    blondie, there will definitely be a review from me :) I will make the best out of it, it will be entertaining none-the-less.

    XQ's: Where is that? I am pretty young (22) but when I was 18 still in...if one had more than a couple peircings in the ears, the elders got pissy.

    DocBob: Its on saturday the 12th, is when I am going. I am not sure if it is on Sunday too. I am only going to a day...if that...probably just the morning. heh.
