If I was doing a doctoral thesis on social psychology, mind control and 'group think' I would only have to cut and paste from this site to get enough case studies for a complete dissertation!
Good idea! I have an ex-JW friend who is studying psychology and another who plans to write a thesis on the negative effects that the Watchtower has on women. I'll forward this and ask if any of it is useful to them.

As someone else told you on another thread: it's a gift. You and I, and thousands of others, not only needed to get out, we wanted to as well.
