    I would like to form a support group for those ex JW's that live in Perth Western Australia.
    We all of us have a story to tell about what life was like on the "inside" for us and for some it was harder to get out than others.
    I dont necessarily want everyone to tell their story as some find it very hard, but for myself, going it alone without just knowing someone who had been there was the hardest.
    I dont want a very formal atmosphere, but it would be nice to be able to get together with like minded others for coffee and a chat.
    If you are interested and from Perth WA please dont hesitate to contact me. You dont have to go it alone.

    Hi Cath and Welcome to the board!

    I was moved by your story that you sent me to post on TruthQuest. I hope others will read it as well. http://www.geocities.com/freepeace2000/cath.htm

    Good luck on your support group. Too bad you're not a little closer or I would meet with you too.

    My best to you!

    Hi Cath,

    I'm from Oz but am on the east coast, alas! Have you been in contact with Jan Groenveld? She is located in Brisbane but has many contacts all over Australia. I know she would love to assist you in any way.

    And thanks for having the initiative to form a support group. I believe there is a real need for people to speak to others informally.
