  hi gang, .

  to make it easier for the out of towners (especially the ones driving in from the us), how does everyone feel about having our next get together on a saturday...say saturday, august 18th, starting at 4pm?

  (i'll be working on the 11th and the 25th...).

  The above should read "Only around 3 hours...if you're biking!", not 23.

  Hi Naeblis,

  I'll need your e-mail address so that when the time comes, I can give you the actual location of where we'll meet on the 18th!

  Hamilton isn't so far from downtown Toronto...only around 23 hours...if you're biking! :D

  Hope to C U soon,

  Hi all,

  Defender: I didn't know you were near Toronto...where do you live? (You can e-mail me privately)

  Commie Chris: It will be ggggreat seeing you (still working out?)!!!

  Had Enough: Rats from me too! :-( Sorry you can't make it for that weekend...for sure next time!

  Sir Naeblis: You must be an opera singer requiring a silk scarf and a leather iguana! LOL Seriously though, what part of the continent are you in?

  Repetition for emphasis (where did I learn that, hmmmm!):
  Our next get together will be in Toronto, Saturday, August 18 (and possibly 19th), 2001!

  The out of towners can have all morning and early afternoon to drive in to Toronto, then stay overnight (if they wish to) and return home on Sunday afternoon.

  And who knows...maybe some of us will also meet up with them on Sunday morning too!

  I'll send an e-mail with the actual location, to all those interested.

  See you all soon,

  I was such a b_tch

  when i was a witness:.

  i used to think they were materialistic, wordly and didn't raise their kids right.. i used to tell my non-jw husband that if he didn't come to the meetings that we wouldn't be together forever.

  i'd say that when he'd say something like "i'll love you forever".

  I didn't treat my mom very nice when I was a witness, and I kept trying to convert her and tell her she was wrong for not being a witness anymore (she had left the borg when I was very young).

  Well, once I read Ray Franz's books and I realized that I had been living a lie, it was humbling to admit to her that I had been wrong. It was the same thing with my relatives...which made me realize just how non-judgmental all these "wordly" people were for letting me be myself (even though I was judging them and sometimes not wanting to talk to them) while I was in the borg, and how nice they actually were as persons.

  By the way, my favourite Mae West quote is from a 1932 movie she was in when she said, "Honey, when I'm good, I'm good...but when I'm bad, I'm better!"

  PS. Pierced Angel, I don't know if you saw my question to you in another post, but I was wondering if a Saturday afternoon/evening get together in Toronto would be easier for you since you have to drive a long way. You can e-mail me privately at [email protected].
  We'll be having our next get together sometime this month.
