Hi Randy,
The ICSA mailed that out to us prior to the event, it's an excellent read.
the icsa event in london was a day well spent although a little emotionally draining.
the event was well represented by ex jws who formed the biggest group there with representatives from both the uk and europe.
other cults discussed during the day were, exclusive bretheren, christian scientists, therapy cults, mystic cults, born again christian cults and some extremely scary mind control groups.

on 4/6, the poster orphan annie posted about her experiences with jw's and her ill husband.
unfortunately, her husband died monday, and she is feeling very sad.
i just wanted to make others aware of it, so that we can encourage her and give her some much needed support during this rough time.. her original thread is here.
I an very sorry to hear of your loss Orphan Annie. I'm glad Ohio cowboy could be there for you. x

Thanks for the heads up.
i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
I'm very sorry to hear that truman, what a terrible tragedy for you and your family.
