    Does anyone know of any ex-jw get togethers in the UK? Anything from a pint down the pub to our own convention?
    I would really like to meet up with other ex-jw's, not necessarily to discuss religion. (the pint is more my style)
    Anyone?

    There is going to be one in Wales early October at Dolfor

    If you phone their helpline at 0131 661 0476 Or Email Anathony Roberts at [email protected] you can get more details.

    This is one conducted by Christians but the fellowhsip and caring will be great ..... and if you are not ready to talk about bible just say so. Be polite, tell them you are still in burnout and leaving yourself in God's capable hands until you can cope better.

    Then there is always the world "NO!"

    I've had the odd pint with ISP... if you're anywhere near the North West of Manchester then I'm sure we could arrange something.

    Ballistic,

    I've met a few ex's from this site, great fun it was too.

    However, I dont think that many UK posters are interested in Xtian style meetings, after all, compared to the Yanks we are a pretty godless bunch.

    Early next summer I intend to host a big ex's barbie and can arrange overnight accomodation in WSM for about £35 per couple. I'll post more details later in the year so that everyone has bags of notice well in advance. I considered doing it this year, but so many Brits are such recent evacuees from the WTBTS that I wasn't certain as to whether it would be too risky an enterprise for them.

    just turn up clinging to the underside of a channel tunnel train or in a truck and claim asylum... that's what everyone else does (ooh... politically incorrect or what ?!)
