The psychologist I went to specialized in PTSD and was a perfect match for me. I suspect a counsellor or psychologist who specializes in PTSD would be a good match for any ex-cult member, even if they don't fully understand the cult's beliefs.

Counsellor needed please!
by stuckinarut2 inhi all.. i have noticed that many of our forum members have sought professional help from counsellors who deal with ones like us who have broken free from high control groups or "cults".. my self esteem has been rocked by recent events in the cong, and while i know ttatt it still has taken my joy in life away quite a bit.. as you all know, mentally i broke free from the org several years ago, but now that i am trying to start making the physical break, i feel really unsettled and nervous.. i wonder if a good counsellor could assist in helping me clarify and sort my feelings and emotions , and provide help to take practical steps to cut all ties with the org?.
if anyone can provide ideas of good counsellors, it would be appreciated.. thanks everyone!.

Is this new Kingdom Hall design what I'm seeing featured on page 16 of the 2015 Yearbook?
Looks rather like a Starbucks-- how convenient would that be?

For all of us out there who go to universities where the local JWs have set up their "tables," this video is the perfect thing to foward on to the university administrators in charge of tabling activities.
I'm not sure that JWs are still doing tables at my uni (they were all over the place last spring, but nowhere to be found this fall). Perhaps they've already been kicked out.
However, if I see even one table at the campus this spring, an email with a link to the video and a short note explaining that JWs are an anti-education cult seeking to recruit unsuspecting students will be sent to admin.

Governing Body Helpers ----- Who are they? Are they future GB in the making?
by adjusted knowledge inso after nearly 15 to 19 years of not attending a convention, i can't recall exactly, i went to one last year.
the brother giving the talk was from bethel and was introduced as a helper of the governing body.
it was a title i never heard of before.

Governing Body Helper = Future Governing Body Member candidate.
For instance, Mark Sanderson was a GB helper for several years before he was "appointed" a GB member.
As for when the "annointing" takes place in all of this, your guess is as good as mine.
