Has anybody out there publically talked about their experiences as JW? I've given thought to it (lectures, classess, etc). I had a pastor from a local church express interest in me coming by and speaking with his congregation. Then he asked me "where I was in my walk with Jesus Christ". I never got an answer back from him. I assumed that he wanted me to talk about the JW's beliefs, and then say how Saved I was.
Anybody know how to get started in it?
I have spoken many times about my experience.
When I lived in Montreal I was a regular guest speaker for the students in a Group Dynamics course at McGill University. I was invited to speak at a Universalist church, and various community groups.
For a short period of time I was a part of a newsletter called "Cult Survivor" and wrote a column for the newsletter called Lean on Lee. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/3519/leanlee.htm. I'm surprised it is still online but I don't think it is active anymore.
Dr Penton, Mouthy/Grace (another poster here) and I all participated in a lecture series

Connections. In all cases, people who knew people who told them about my willingness to speak would get my name out there.
