Guide to Helping Other Break Free
by LisaRose ini have come up with a guide to helping others break free of the watchtower, based loosely on steve hassan's book, combatting cult mind control and incorporating experiences of other jwn posters who have been successful in helping their family leave the watchtower.
i posted an earlier draft of this and got some great feedback.
here is the final version with some additional information and incorporating many of your suggestions.

Need Suggestions/examples: Guide to helping family & friends break free
by LisaRose ini was going through my copy of steve hassan's combating cult mind control and it occurred to me that it would be great to have something like this specifically for us ex jehovah's witnesses.
while this is a great book, the examples he uses are mostly from people that were moonies, as steve is a former moonie and many people that have contacted him for help were relatives of moonies.
while cults all work basically the same, it would be nice to be have some ideas on things that are specific to jehovah's witnesses.

My brother died last night
by LisaRose ini found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.
it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.
there were six of us, now only four.

as much as i hate this religion, i don't see that it does any good for any religion to be banned.

Interesting day yesterday
by LisaRose ini have started walking every morning for twenty or thirty minutes.
so yesterday i had to work and almost didn't go, but decided to get in a quick ten minute walk.
i don't usually take my phone, but decided to take it, and i was so glad i did because a block from my house i came upon an older chinese man face down on the sidewalk and bleeding profusely from his mouth/face.

Ikea In Store comments
by LisaRose inso, apparently ikea apparently has in store comments (who knew?i don't shop there that much.
), where customers can write their own reviews of products for others to see.
it seems like that would be asking for trouble, and some people are having a bit of fun with it.

Child Sex Abuse in The Jesus people cult
by LisaRose ininteresting article about a small religious cult in chicago.
a man who grew up in the cult and suffered abuse set about to make a documentary about the religion.
he didn't set out to make it about sex abuse, but in interviewing people he found out a lot of people had been molested as well.

Washington Post Covers the Australia RC investigation
by LisaRose ini came across this story in the washington post.
it's nice to see they are covering the royal commission.
i have a kindle, everyone who buys one gets free six month subscription (it automatically downloads twice a day) to the post , so i imagine this will get read by a lot of people.
