Google links to JWD
by besty inmight be wrong here and i'm standing to be corrected but when i ask google how many other sites link to jwd the answer seems to be only about a dozen or so.
if this is true (and even if its not) then everybody with a website or the ability to post a link to jwd should do so.
google ranks websites partly according to how many other websites link to it so we can all do something to help jwd further up the results page - currently jwd is ranked 10th for 'jehovah' and 4th for 'jehovahs witness'

Jonestown - Seductive Poison - highlight
by besty ini've just finished reading this account by debbie layton and it is an incredibly revealing story of the inward spiral of cult membership.. i thought this section from her epilogue is worth sharing, definitely amongst ourselves but also perhaps with friends and family still 'in':.
"i hope my book will give my daughter some answers about how i got caught and how the jonestown tragedy happened.
i hope it will provide clues about the workings of a cult and shed light on the darkness of deceit.
