Jakes,
Good luck keeping free from people who place requirements on their kindness and association. Good luck with your book too. I'll keep my eyes open for info on when it's available. I envy you in a way. I've kept SO MANY of my feeling locked up for so long because I was convinced that my thoughts were proof that I was as evil as the jw convinced me I was and that I deserved to be hated by both "satan's world" and "god's organization." Well, I'm preaching to the choir here (pun intended) but to finally be able to release that pent up frustration. To finally take the steps to becoming healed instead of fearing that any steps I take are just further proof of what an evil person I am has given me strength. Anyway, to do that as a book must be even more liberating and to have the opportunity to help many people escape the cult is awesome.
Good for you. :-)
