Well I caught wind of this and wanted to make sure anyone in the greater LA area has an opportunity to plan ahead for this event.

ExJW Diane Wilson will be speaking....here are the details.

The date, July 21. 11:00 am she will be speaking at the CFI facility.

CFI West

4773 Hollywood Blvd (near Vermont)

LA, CA 90027

and on the same day, she'll be speaking in Costa Mesa

The time, 4:30 pm

1845 Park Ave (Next to Public Library)

Costa Mesa

If you have any questions you can call Jim Underwood at (323)666-9797 tell him I sent ya. (you can call me the "Dateline XJW girl").......

I would encourage all in the greater LA area to go and see Diane speak. It will set you back $4, but you will probably meet a ton of cool people, maybe even some from this board.

Seriously, who is Diane Wilson? I live in NY, and it is highly improbable that I will make the event. So, who is she?

This is pretty close to me ... but what is "CFI" as in "CFI West"?

LDH

OK, CFI is Center for Free Inquiry, and I placed the link above! (GRRRRR....c'mon guys)

Diane Wilson is an Ex-JW who will tell her story. Nothing more, nothing less.

I thought it would be a good chance for all of you in the LA area to get together....

Her Book At Amazon.com

From Publishers Weekly "The public needs to be warned," says ex-Jehovah's Witness Diane Wilson about the religion she once embraced. In Awakening of a Jehovah's Witness: Escape from the Watchtower Society, Wilson recounts her quarter-century in the movement, making the usual case that the Society is a cult, that it exercises unhealthy control over the minds and behavior of its members and that it grooms followers to become victims. Certainly, her story is sad, particularly the part about being encouraged to shun her own daughter for several months, but it is hardly a balanced or even very perceptive book. (One of the most interesting elements of the narrative is that Wilson seems to have transferred the near-divine authority that she once vested in her church to her therapist, whose words are sometimes reprinted here in boldface.) Sadly, few objective accounts exist about the Jehovah's Witnesses; little stands in the middle between polemic and apologetic. Readers are left with classic studies such as M. James Penton's Apocalypse Delayed, a rare book that seeks not just to discredit and refute the Watchtower, but to understand it.
