    Hi Everyone,

    I am the organizer of the Chandler AZ, Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses support group. I am moving the group from meetup.com to GroupSpaces.com. GroupSpaces.com provides a free service for groups like ours with fewer than 50 members. If you live in Chandler please feel free to join our group. Our sister group is the West Phoenix Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. They are still on meetup.com.

    Even if don't live in Chandler but plan on a visit our group meets the first Wednesday at 7pm. We would love to meet you! Our group is not associated with any faith or belief system. We merely provide support for folks finding their way out of the religion. We also organize the "Shun Run" public awareness around around the time of the memorial.

    Hi Finally Awake,

    "wish i lived near enough to visit!"

    There are several ex-jw groups on meetup.com, some might be closer. Also, if you don't mind doing a bit of organizing you can start a group on meetup.com ($12 per month) or groupspaces.com (no cost). Being an organizer isn't that much work -- really just picking a place and time to meet and being prepared to welcome new ones.

    The two Ex-JW groups in our area have ~70 online members for the West group and ~25 for the Chandler/East group. Of those numbers, 8 or 9 come out to the West meetup and we have 3 regulars at our Chandler event. Special events such as Shun Run had 20 as did our special meetup with AAWA members from Tucson. So... the numbers may not be large even in a big city, but it is clearly helpful to those online and especially those who come out. Some in the Ex-JW community are in pretty awful shunning situations.

    Cheers,

    -Randy
