    BTT--------- ya'll don’t forget to sign up with us and I would love to see you walking for the cause. It really should be fun along with the morning walk! It is for a good cause. Look at the diabetes page close to October...It will get busy. Last year in 2 weeks we raised something like 7 or 10 thousand. It really was quite exciting. I work with a woman who has a girl the age of FMZ's friend’s age and she really was inspiring!! she ran laps around us the morning of the walk. I hope you all can participate. You leave with at least a small sence of helping things now instead of waiting on the "new system" to fix everything......Please keep this to the top.

    I figure there is a lot more than 2 weeks time going this time around and we can do so much more....Getting people to donate is very easy once you get started. (getting them to walk is a little harder)

    We've never really had a problem, at least the ones here in Dallas. Unless you count the time Little Toe and I dressed up in kilts and paraded around that steakhouse. I've had folks over to my house several times with no problems (although after the kids and the dogs were finished with the crawfish, my back yard looked like Gettysburgh).

    It's one thing to troll around on in the Internet, but it's quite another to do so in person. I think most folks want to get together, have a good time and get to know others. The first time I went to one, however, I was so nervous; didn't know what to expect. But everyone was cool. It's great to put a face to the avatar or the posts.

    The thing about Trolls is that they are cowards. They love to stir the pot here on the board because they're faceless, nameless, and they can hide behind the safety of anonymity as they make their Swiss Cheese arguments. But when it comes to meeting us face to face, they don't have the balls to do it. I think it's because they realize their arguments are full of crap and don't stand a chance on saving face in person. Personally I'd love to see a troll come to a Fest. I have a feeling it would completely change their idea of what Apostates are and how we live our lives. Who knows? It might help one of them escape.

    Which brings up a question. Have we ever had an active dubs come to a fest and actually enjoy themselves? Did they change their minds about who we were? Anybody know of experiences?

    Oh yeah. Nina and I invited 3 JWs we know to the crawfish boil back in April. They were very nervous about coming, but we assured them that they would have a great time. And they did, until those picket signs were brought out and one of them couldn't handle it and so left. But coming did help change the programming about what ex-JWs are like. One of the three is now 99% out.

    LOL! Nope, no twin here. I don't think the world would want more than one of me. I know my hubby wouldn't. I'm a handful. LOL
