Calling all ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses in Victoria, Australia (and beyond)

The Victorian Parliament is currently holding a Parliamentary Inquiry into the Recruitment Methods and Impacts of Cults and Organised Fringe Groups. This includes groups like Jehovah’s Witnesses.

This is a rare and important opportunity for those of us who have experienced the fear, control, and long-term harm of high-control religious groups to speak up and be heard—on the public record.
