UC Berkeley Study on Disaffiliation from JW

emmayataco

Hello everyone,

I'm a UC Berkeley student researching the effects of disaffiliation from the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm not ex-JW but I am ex-Mormon and as your cousin I can sympathize with the struggles we face when we question/leave the religion.

I currently have a survey open which closes on Sunday the 20th at 11pm.

If you meet the criteria I encourage you to take the 20-30 minute survey.

-Be at least 18 years old
-Born/raised JW (born in or family converted when you were minor)
-"Left" at least 6 months ago (Left=inactive and questioning/non-believing)

I wasn’t going to do it. But since it has been posted on Reddit, it must be safe.

Just completed. I think it's legit.

Yeah, I went through about 50% of it. It doesn’t look like any information is requested that might personally identify you, and it is hosted at a known survey management site.

Nevertheless, I think it is a positive sign that the first “gut” reaction was skepticism and a suspicion of a fraud/scam.

I`m afraid I don`t qualify being a convert when I was twenty years old.

Yes my neighbour stroked my cat the other day - I think it's a scam.

what on earth would anyone have to gain from answering a survey on your feelings on disassiciation from a cult?
