Large scale study on former members of the Exclusive Brethren

Hello
I have just joined this forum.
My name is Jill Mytton and I was born and raised in the Exclusive Brethren in the UK. My parents decided to leave back in 1960 and being still a teenager I simply left with them - I say 'simply' but it was anything but simple!
Since then I have had a number of careers ending up as a counselling psychology. I am currently running a large scale study of former members looking at a number of factors, seeking to understand why some have more problems than others, and trying to answer a lot of questions. The results will be presented at one of the ICSA conferences and through publication in academic journals.
As is usual, participation is confidential and anonymous. As an ex member myself I do understand the real importance of this when dealing with a litigious group and with a group that divides families.
I don't know if there are any former EB on this forum but I thought it worth asking. Also of course, some of you may know former members through your church or otherwise.
The website owner of [peebs.net] has kindly set up a banner on the page (green and near the top!). Clicking on this banner takes you to a new page where the research is described and where there is a form that can be used to contact me. You can also use the email address if you prefer - research at themyttons.co.uk (don't forget to remove the spaces and change the 'at' to the usual @ symbol)
Currently I have about 160 participants - I need 300 so your help will be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Jill Mytton

Hello, Jill. I just came across this post. A couple weeks ago, I posted about the Exclusive Brethren concerning the recent publication of a book on the cult and an interview with the author about her book "In the Days of Rain" about growing up in the Exclusive Brethren.
Here's my post, which contains a link to the article: forum.culteducation.com
I would have posted on the same thread as yours, had I seen it. I would love to hear any update about your study and a link to any published results.
Blessings...

To whom it may concern:
We are here to help anyone who is fighting the good fight against McArthurism. We have been wanting to help, but wasn't sure how to do it. We have also been affected by McArthurism through our family...they were manipulated into following this cult by being recruited to visit other churches throughout the world. Our immediate family was hurt by our own family because we wanted to help. We decided to take a stand and not let McArthurism take our power away...we want to act, and not be silent any longer. If there is someone who is willing to take a stand with us, we can discuss further what we would like to do.
Imagine
by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
