How do you meet other ex-jws in your town safely? I've tried meetup.com, apostafests, but they always only have about 3 or 4 members and they happen to be far away

stilla, I am not sure how to do that. In my experience even if you do a meetup with many people you still can come across some unsavory characters. I myself have been stalked, to a degree, by someone I trusted from a meetup. I wondered why our local meetup ended. The threats, and subsequent lack of interest here, kind of indicated to me that I was not the only one.
I can only suggest ALWAYS meeting in public and not giving out personal information. Good luck to you.

I met up with a bunch at the Toronto Apostafest in Oct 07 and that was a blast...nice to put real names to real people behind screen names and avatars... hearing their stories told me I had made the right move. Those fests are the best because they are in public locations.
I am seriously thinking of putting a Meetup group together for St. Louis...there might be enough interest.... of course, in doing so, I am taking a chance on being outed from my fader status and getting an upgrade to apostate status.
What part of Georgia? My non-JW brother (raised in it, never baptized) is north of Atlanta.... I may be making a trip down that way in May...
