I think he lives in Bolton if he’s still alive. He was unwell the last I heard (some years ago). I knew his three sons. One of them jailed (see above)

It seems likely to me that tying the Charities Commission up in a complex application for Judicial Review was a tactical ruse to allow them more time to clean up their documentation. (When I say clean up, I mean destroy).
Now they have spent 2.5 years doing that, they have decided to drop the application for review which was never likely to succeed in any event.
Despicable behaviour!

Faith to Faithless XJW event London, UK
by Fe2O3Girl indescription.
we often come across jehovah's witnesses near station entrances and at our front doors, but we never hear about what happens when they leave.
if you're near london, uk, faith to faithless are doing their first ever event at kings college london, and their first ex jw panel!.

I know of a similar experience. Growing up in the organisation there was a guy who was like a father figure to me and he was very much in love with the woman next door (also a JW). She was married to a man who was physically and emotionally abusive unfaithful and was an alcoholic. After 20 years she finally left and divorced the husband. She and my friend then after some time, explored the feelings they ultimately had both never acted on previously.
They were in love and got married so as not to sin (their words). She was in what they would call good conscience because she knew (although could not prove legally) that her husband had been unfaithful and thus was free to marry.
Her ex-husband, however, refused to openly admit that he had been unfaithful (although he had admitted it to her on several occasions in private). This clearly was to keep control over his now ex-wife but applying the two witness rule with impunity, the elders disfellowshipped both my friend and his now wife and love of his life.
It took them 5 years to be reinstated - he lost his friends and connections and whilst gladly I always made a point of speaking to them both, he lost everything and even when they returned, things were never the same.This was one of the many reasons why I left the witnesses.
It's not a shock to hear that this was not the only incident.

My mother only gave me a highly sanitised version of the 3 hour talk. Since then I've been chatting with another xJW on the phone and her view is that it's mainly been to announce the beginning of persecution (which is likely to be because the UK Charities Commission is crawling all over them because of their mismanagement of issues of child abuse).
This also would be one of the reasons why they have announced that they are not just recruiting but helping people to live better lives in accordance with the bible. We'd be forgiven for thinking that this is a cynical attempt to bring into play new 'charitable aims'
Not that I'm cynical or anything 😝

My mother is still in and she was buzzing about it - 'oh the end, the end' bless her cottons.
I can just imagine all the congregation in absolute awe of a 'real life conference call' - it must be Jehobos blessing because they wouldn't have such high tech stuff otherwise.
Skype?, GotoWebinar? Google Hangouts? They are only behind the times about a decade lol 💩
