     Thank you Carol! You are a supportive leader and I would recommend this meetup because I left feeling uplifted and understood.

     I have gotten emails from other members warning me that Carol is a Christian and how she left one so called "truth" for another so called "truth" and to just be aware of that. I can see how that would be scary for a new ex-jw. You don't want to convert, you want support. I think that on the discription of this group it should be noted that the group is not trying to convert anyone to anything. That it really is there to support each other and that if that person is READY to investigate christianity and learn the differences from the WT that they also have that help. I think that is what keeps people from going. I was afraid that there was going to be JW bashing or that I was going to feel pressured to convert to some religion, but it is not like that at all and I think that the group needs to clearify that. Thank you Carol so much!

     Others should join for support and help. You are not alone when you leaved the Organization, others like my self have found Happiness and peace, but most important WE have found God, not through religion or denominations but through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

     To meet other like minded individuals and to feel that you are not alone. The people I met are very nice, kind and very welcoming to new comers. I didn't feel out of place, or ignored.

     People should join this group to have time with others who have been through the same experiances. People who are still in the truth could come and find more understanding than hostility. It's a safe place to share. We have great snacks that some times includes exotic cheese.

     Carol is very hospitable and understanding. She opens up her own home to give a safe comfortable place where ex JW's can meet and discuss their issues.

  •  I hope that more people, and I know they're out there, that are feeling alone and crushed by the WT, will give this group a chance. It's not about bashing, it's about healing - picking ourselves up and going on with our lives. And, no matter what you've been told, there IS life outside the WT. I strongly encourage you to attend a meeting and meet others that have shared your experiences.
