What a great article. Thanks for putting your story out there and sharing it with us as well.
The WT is always so afraid of anything reflecting badly on them. Don't they know that this stuff is worse than any "inappropriate facial hair" or other petty infraction they can come up with? When will they ever stop their ridiculous shunning policy?
Sharing your story publically gives a great warning to anyone who would consider becoming a JW. Great job!

What a great article. I think articles that are well-written and balanced like that make the most impact with people who don't know what JW's are about. Good for you for sharing!

Thanks again, everyone. I hope it does some good (I've already gotten some private, positive feedback on it, too).

I showed my roommate (non-JW) the article so he could better appreciate my situation. I moved away after I stopped attending meetings and he's the only one here who knows of my JW background. He struggles to understand my situation as it's quite foreign to him. Good work!

I was so happy to read that someone went to the press. Your courage to tell your story publicly will help many either recovering from this cult or just avoiding them all together. KUDOS!

Shepherd,
The article from newspaper is no longer available and the blog link has been moved. Do you think you could repost it for others?
