  HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!

  tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.

  please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).

  I'm sure the OP doesn't see how strange the story seems hence the replies on here but do not take offence at it.

  I see the points that are being made and to be honest, I'm quite surprised. I had many more bizarre experiences like this so those kind of things don't seem strange to me anymore (shocking - yes, but not really surprising), and I would be surprised to know that it's not a "norm" when it comes to JWs you guys were affiliated with. It's like when I hear another child abuse story among JWs, elders even. It still does give me chills, but it doesn't surprise me anymore, because there are so many of stories like that already.

  do you know if the case is being held in Dundee courts or Glasgow/Edinburgh? Do you know which date? Is it just one exjw person involved?

  Like I've said many times already when I will have a date or place of where the next hearing will take place I will post it. She is the only exjw involved in this, her husband never was a JW and she doesn't know any others in the area, hence my call for helping her out if someone lives nearby.

  Dundee Clepington congregation has "some meetings" in Polish

  And that's the one she was in. It's also probably the reason why there were some Scottish people at the initial dinner, because the congregation is bilingual (or because it's only a Polish speaking group, not a whole Polish-language congregation).

  How utterly strange that a story that just happened few days ago where this woman was only interviewed yesterday afternoon doesn't have any press coverage yet. Really, that's just unbelievable. /s

  I am utterly amazed how quick people are here to dismiss what others write and actually be hostile spitting accusations that one fabricated the story.

  Anyway, I'll try to be above that and provide some more details as promised:

  The whole thing took place in a Polish congregation in Dundee, Scotland. She really did employ those 29 people, she could afford this because the city gives a grant to the employer which, as I was told, paid the half of the bills. Most of them worked in kitchen, and of course there were shifts. The newspaper that will cover the story is either The Daily Telegraph or Sunday Telegraph (they've apparently didn't decide yesterday which one will take it). This is where I was wrong when I wrote that its a "local" newspaper, because apparently Telegraph is a nation-wide media group. I'm not from UK and don't really know the media there so excuse me for this.

  PS. Re: "They all watched it". She told me that they weren't happy she played this video and wanted her to shut it down, but she refused because she was interested into how this will play out to the end and it was her home really, so she could play whatever she want. She didn't expect it will be so damning for the organization, nor did they.

  She seemed fine with taking advantage of the system

  Can you explain to me how she was taking advantage of the system, because I have a hard time comprehending it? She started a business and created new jobs for people, how is that taking advantage of anything? Sure, one could say that it's unfair that she used to employ mostly JWs, but then again, saying that you probably forgot what it means to be a JW. You're brainwashed. You are told that the world is ruled by Satan and the only reliable people are your brothers and sisters. This is Psychomanipulation 101.

  She got the benefits of being a JW for many years I presume and then she didn't.

  She was a JW only for one year, so she didn't get so many "benefits" from it I presume.

  why close the business, why not just hire new staff?

  Like I've said, hiring is a process, you cannot do it overnight especially in a business where you have constant turnover, guests coming, etc. You need to provide training for people on different positions. This just cannot happen in 24 hours, and then you still need time to settle stuff with the old crew.

  @TheWonderofYou: Loyal Until Death is actually a video I produced (you can check that in the description), I just asked Wifi Bandit to host it because it was over 15 minutes long and my channel at the time had restrictions due to Watchtower reporting some videos on it :).

  No, that's a channel ran by a fellow ExJW who I know personally, but yes, I am an activist too. And yes, this is exactly the video that the sister from my story stumbled upon which prompted her to wake up.

  Yep, that's my channel. Though when I started it a while ago I was still going to meetings. I don't for a while, so I guess saying "active JW" is a bit outdated ;)

  You can check me out on Reddit or even my post history here if you doubt me. Ask Wifi Bandit or others from Reddit if I can be trusted.

  Also, an enterprising fanatic JW elder would probably not create a site with their letters and other confidential shit ;). I used to be an elder though, so there's a bit truth in that.

  Everything what I've told you until now I repeated exactly from the 1st hand experience that was given to me. I will talk with this lady again tomorrow and try to clarify some points that were raised. Until that thank you for hearing me out, even if some are not exactly giving me a benefit of the doubt ;).

  it's just you mentioned a couple of rooms

  I'm not a native speaker, I assumed that "couple" would be understood as "few", as in 2-9. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
