    Hello all. They won't go out on Austin's RSS newsfeed for a week or two, but if you want to see the first 3, he has posted a rough copy of my articles here: http://atheism.about.com/od/jehovahswitnesses/Jehovahs_Witnesses_Watchtower_Bible_Tract_Society.htm. If you want to check them out, please let me know what you think. Lots of people frequent About.com so a lot more people will hear about "exxers" like us.

    If all goes well, he'll let me add ex-JW content to About's "Atheism/Agnosticism" section once per week. He has edited them a bit, and I think some of his changes actually detract from the clarity in a few places. :-( Maybe some of you can give some opinions? Also, article 1 was meant to come before article 2. I think he posted them in a hurry. Still a couple weeks to go before they go into his main page.

    Note that I'm not getting paid for this, though it could lead to something more if it does surprisingly well. So I'm not just pimping it to line my bank account (though I'm pretty much broke as it is...sigh...)

    Also, if you go exploring his site, remember that it is an atheist site. I don't think there's anything in my articles that will upset anyone, but there are other articles there that are critical of religion. Keep that in mind. If you don't like what I've written, please don't hit or yell. :-)

    Sentences like this are what I mean when I say they are less clear than I originally intended:

    For Jehovah's Witnesses, the potential problems associated with being disfellowshipped and shunned lead to many choosing instead to just fade away.

    I think this would be better:

    For Jehovah's Witnesses, the problems associated with being disfellowshipped and shunned lead many to just "fade away" instead.

    Anyway, he doesn't really want to change them just now. So please don't blame me for all of the weird sentences you find. At least they're going out, though!
