Thanks, let's hope it wakes some up so they can free themselves from this abusive and controlling cult.

Interesting that former JWs so often pop up in discussions of people who have become atheist.
There are a few JW stories in historian Callum Brown’s book Becoming Atheist too.

I didn't know this had been printed. I was there, in fact that is me walking in the door with a mop of hair in the video. Nice surprise.

I like the way this is a nicely balanced and fair article, it doesn't come over like a screaming Tabloid one would, and is therefore more likely to get the attention of believing JW's, and make them more uncomfortable with sticking to their beliefs, and their Organisation, neither of which they are able to defend.

Is there a drop of JW's numbers in Australia since the investigation??

https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics-australia-jehovahs-witnesses.php has the Aus statistics.
It is surprising that the number of publishers hasn’t dropped since the ARC. On the otherhand, growth has been stagnant for a long time.
An interesting statistic is that the number of people that identify as JW on the Australian census has not grown since the 1980’s, despite the number of Publishers increasing. Australia has had significant population growth, so the ratio of Australian JWs is in decline.
