I am a former Jehovah's Witness (borned and raised). I am looking for individuals who are former Jehovah's Witness to interview for a profile I am writing for my Journalism class. The criteria I need is listed below:
Someone who was or is shunned by their family and JW friends.
Someone who has transcended beyond this to make their life happy and successful.
Someone who has made or makes some sort of contribution to their community and/or is socially and politically active.
I would prefer someone who does not mind being photographed. I must be able to interview your family, current friends, or acquaintances who are aware of your situation. I can use your first name or a pseudonym.
The profile feature article will be approximately 1000 words and possibly may be published in a magazine or newspaper to gain national attention regarding how JW shunning effects individuals and families. Please forward to anyone not on this list that you may feel would be interested. I must be contacted by November 8, 2003.
Please email me at [email protected]
Regards,
Jesse

Welcome to JWD !!
I'm sure you won't have any problem finding someone here who is willing to participate.
Folks, I've had the privilege of meeting Jesse several times, and I can assure you all (since he's a new poster here) that his request is 100% legitimate. He's a great guy, and has a very interesting story to tell himself.

"Behold, my dear Jesse, all those things are manifest in ME!" Seriously, I'd be happy to help you but I'm clear out in NW Oregon. Could send you a profile if you want. You can contact me at [email protected].

Welcome to freedom, man.
By the way, you just reminded me of something I need to do. I need to conduct interviews for a class myself, and it never occured to me to do it via message board.
