    Someone emailed me interested in arranging a talk about witnesses:

    My name is A***** B***. I'm a clinical social worker at a private
    non-profit mental health agency in Baltimore MD. Here at my agency, we
    have a cultural awareness committee that seeks to educate our staff
    about various religions, cultures, races, and prejudices, for example.
    I visited your site today and am very interested in arranging a talk
    about Jehovah Witnesses for our October 2002 forum. Do you know if
    Baltimore or MD has an JW organization I could contact to talk more
    about this and seek out presenters to come in and facilliate a
    round-table discussion? I would appreciate your assistance in any way
    you can. My email address is XXX. My number is
    XXX. Thanks for your help.

    If anyone in this area would like to help, please contact me and I will pass on contact details.

    Thanks

    Hi Simon,

    I lived in Baltimore for eight years, and moved away last April.

    Is the agency to which you refer possibly be the Sidran Foundation? I know quite a few of the people there, and would be glad to help.

    Elizabeth V if you are reading this, contact moi! I owe you years and years of gratitude debt. You helped me more than I can describe at SEPH in the mid 90's.

    Does this board not completely rock?

    Dan and I live right smack in the middle of Baltimore and we know a bunch of Ex JWs in the area. We'd love to go to this discussion.

    What foundation is it exactly?

    Hi Simon,

    There's a gay/lesbian support group for ex-JWs in the DC/Balto area. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/commonbondeast/ma/

    You'll see an email link for Beth Ann Miner. She's got a Masters degree in child psychology, and is also an ex-JW. She's a real sweetheart and very knowledgeable. I personally know many of the members there and Beth Ann can give you info and/or get you in contact with others.

    I haven't tried that her email link recently, so, if it doesn't work, just let me know, give me your contact info, and I'll let her know. My email address is [email protected]

    Bye,

    John W Wirtanen
