We often come across Jehovah's Witnesses near station entrances and at our front doors, but we never hear about what happens when they leave. If you're near London, UK, Faith to Faithless are doing their first ever event at Kings College London, and their first Ex JW panel!
The event is being chaired by the BBC Radio 4 show host Deborah Frances-White, and includes speakers who will be "coming out" for the first time at this event.
Sign up on the event below and reserve your ticket.
Please post the pictures.
If you think back even 15 years ago, never would we hear of such a thing. Hopefully this is a beginning of something good for those who are out or are desiring to be out. Good to hear.
Please post the pictures.
Apparently they hope to video the event - which takes place on Tuesday evening 10 January 2017 at King’s College in London WC2R 2LS - and place it all on youtube:

In the meantime, there is this from an earlier Faith to Faithless event:
Tuesday January 10th.
Deborah Frances-White was a JW of course.
I think she did a radio sketch on BBC Radio 4 about flying to Canada to help a young man leave the witnesses and how she had to deal with two of his elders.
The event details are in the link. The date and time is:
Tue 10 January 2017
19:00 – 21:00 GMT

Excellent stuff.
Thanks @darkspilver. I was hoping to attend but due to the train strikes could not so appreciate the videos.
