Greetings!
I am pleased to anounce a new chapter of the San Francisco Bay Area Support Group for Ex-JWs has been started.
The [Silicon Valley Ex-JW Support Group] will be holding its first meeting on January 28th, and thereafter every 4th Sunday of the month.
We are aiming to be accessible to the south and east Bay Area, including San Jose. Our meeting place will be in the Fremont/Milpitas area.
We desire to provide a safe place for ex-JWs to be able to heal without the judgementalism that we experienced in the Watchtower, so we encourage all attendees to be tolerant and non-condemning of other members or their current lifestyles. Confidentiality is also important for a safe atmosphere. We encourage all to feel free to share what may be working for them as to spirituality or religion, but to please refrain from preaching or proselytizing or pushing ones religious views (or lack thereof) on others.
The Silicon Valley Ex-JW Support Group is not a religious association, hate group, or therapy group. We aim to provide fellowship, peer support, and open discussion of issues.
Ex-JWs, questioning JWs, and concerned family members, of all belief systems and lifestyles are welcome to attend in an atmosphere of respect and tolerance.
If you are interested in attending, please contact me at [email protected] or call (510) 790-8960.
Cheers,
Wayne Rogers
