    An article about a sister in our local local KH was in a womens magazine today. The local KH was the topic of conversation at Angharad & Dylan's PlayGroup with the verdict that the JWs are "disgusting how they treat people". Apparently, they were also quite vocal about how the articles about the WTC were trying to cash in on the suffering and they were not impressed (a wise & discerning group those mums!).

    Anyway, here is the article - I know the people involved and Charlotte is a lovely girl. I don't think the article does her justice really but I hope things work out for her. I was thinking of writing them a note to let her know about this place in case she needs a bit of support? One little piece of info that isn't in the article is that her mum, who is shunning her, was Df'd herself twice for the same thing herself! (if my memory serves me correct).

    W/O really reading the article, that picture in the upper right makes me think she must have gotten involved with one of those soccer hooligans we read so much about here in the States. Sad really, I know as long as you people let those types roam unfettered, this Texan will not be visiting Europe!

    which magazine was this in simon?
    perhaps a few of us could drop it a note and say THANKYOU
    for publicising something the general public dont usually
    get to know, and let them know its not just isolated cases,
    and it would be brilliant if you could let charlotte know shes
    not alone and theres a lot of us out here thinking of her.

    It's called "that's life!" and is a UK weekly womens mag. We only bought it for this issue after Angharad found out about it at playgroup.

    I don't think it's a serious-journalist-type thing, more 'send us your life story and we'll give you a few quid' type stuff ... it got people talking about it though !

    Well how many times have we heard a story like this. A couple of young sisters I know did exactly what she did, then married the guy and got reinstanted quickly. One of them just as quickly went inactive but now she can have relationships with people who wanted nothing to do with her. I wonder why that was important?

    Simon,

    I can't help but notice this passage in the article:

    Surely a few dates with Simon, 18, wouldn't harm.

    But a week later at his place, we started kissing, his hands slid over my body. I relaxed, responded, so natural . . .

    Simon?!?

    I do think it would be great if she knew of a place where she'd be welcome, especially considering your share in corrupting her.

    Is it too late for folks from the board to send her Christmas cards? Or maybe you can do what Englishman does for his Dub-in-the-Pub and collect our good wishes in a thread and mail them to her?

    Ginny

    ha ha ha I wish (well, I wish I was 18 anyway). I wrote out a Christmas card and will post it today.

    See what you miss when you don't attend meetings? GOSSIP!
