Hi DocBob! Nice to "see" you again! I hope you and yours are well.
I don't know if you've ever met Bob and Judy Pardon, but they opened Meadow Haven about ....9 years ago maybe? Harold and I attended meetings there every other Saturday and the meetings helped in so many ways. I could not believe the cults some of the victims were getting out of either. It was very sad, but they finally had a safe place to go in exiting and got couseling too. This guy has almost one full wall of JW litirature including the volumes of Studies In Scriptures and the Harp of God! Those books were great to look through...lol.
Anyhoo....maybe you can contact him for advice in what the best way to get funding is to start out or jsut get together to chat about what needs to be done and where to start. He and his wife are great loving people!
Here's the link to Meadowhaven.... in Lakeville MASS.
