I don't know if you know padiwack, and I don't know to what extent she's sought out support, but she has mentioned she was raised in the JW church and in any event I think you'd have stories to share.

I didn't realize you had grown up as a Jehovah's Witness; it takes a lot of courage to break free. Congratulations.

I don't know her but would love to reach out to her. Can I send her a message here on LJ? I'm never sure who is still haunting this place and who has gone on to other pastures.

She's still on LJ but says she's been "working like a borrowed mule" at her job, and has been trying out "ello." I'm sure you can message her here, but she may not answer you right away.

I do not, unfortunately, but the study sounds fascinating.

If it's something you can share, later, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Since I'm not getting IRB approval, I'll be limited in how much I can share. Personal stories are off limits but I can certain share the literature review and any analysis.

Very fair -- best of luck with your work! :)
