Are you willing to be a "whistleblower"?
Are you ready to tell your story?
We believe that your efforts can force transparency on organisations
that are psychologically coercive.
We have been inundated with requests to put up people's personal
stories on the FACTNet website. But, alas, we do not have the
resources to do this. At one point we were even considering charging
people a token fee to create web pages for them so that they could get
their stories out. We then asked ourselves how we could create a
powerful forum for people to speak freely and tell others their
stories?
Our solution was to create a Discussion Board. This is the best way we
could act as stewards for our donor contributions.
This will also enable FACTNet to grow the website with quality data
that is useful to researchers, social workers, academics, journalists,
de-programmers and exit-counsellors.
This will also allow people who are living in fear and uncertainty to
find other people they can talk to.
We have set the Discussion Board so that it will be spidered and
catalogued by search engines. This implies that whatever is written in
the Discussion Board will untimately be able to be found via Google
and other search engines.
If you belong to an organisation, or used to belong to an
organisation, that you are afraid of then you may post your
experiences anonymously.
If you have had personal experiences that you would like to tell the
world about then we encourage you to post these experiences. (This is
your gift to others. Warning people about potential dangers is all
that one can ask of you.)
If you know of someone that has had these experiences then encourage
them to post their stories.
AND: Even if you have already told your story on another website,
newsgroup or discussion board we still encourage you to tell your
story on the FACTNet Discussion Board. The reason for this is simple.
No-one knows which websites will stand the test of time. The more you
replicate, on the internet, what you have to tell others, then the
better your chances of having your story survive 50 years from now.
As of this date (3rd March 2002) the Discussion Board is completely
empty. (Because no one has been told about it.) This is like
presenting a clean, fresh, canvas to an artist. Or running on the
beach at sunrise before the crowds start gathering. Enjoy!
The six broad main topics are:
1/ Religious Cults and Sects
2/ Corporations
3/ Social Organizations
4/ Governmental, Military or Terrorist Organisations
5/ Families
6/ Advertising and Marketing
Within these main topics you will be able to:
1/ create your own sub-topics (Conversations) or
2/ add postings to existing sub-topics. (Some sub-topics were created
by us. These were based on requests we have received over the years.)
Your story can act as a warning to others.
