Internet Forums, Ministries and Support Groups

Small ministry outreaches set up and operated by Christian former Jehovah’s Witnesses are plentiful and can be found in many localities.  There are also a number of internet forums and discussion groups set up to offer support for JWs who are questioning and for those leaving the Watchtower organization.  Because new ones pop up and others disappear, any list that I could put together here would soon be obsolete.  So, instead, I will suggest possible terms to use when searching the web:

“support for ex-Jehovah's Witnesses”

“ex-JW forum”

“ex-Witness discussion group”

“former Jehovah’s Witnesses”

“EXJW”

“recovering Jehovah’s Witnesses”

“ex-Watchtower”

and so on, perhaps even naming a state or nearby large city in the search.  Keep in mind, of course, that caution is in order.  Unfortunately, some people leave the Watchtower organization only to fall victim to other deceptions or vain pursuits.

Support can also be found using similar search terms on social networking sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and others.

Besides former members, help and support can often be found though some of the larger Christian counter-cult ministries and apologetics groups.  A web search will reveal those that are currently active.

And, of course, loving Bible-believing churches can offer some of the best support close to home.
