home help us  books    EXIT Newsletter

The EXIT Newsletter, features articles and reviews of substance not available from any other source. By 2009, it had become the leading journal on self-deliverance techniques worldwide. Such information, while lawful, cannot be published on the internet lest it fall into the wrong hands. It is not our aim to give such how-to advice to young people or temporarily depressed individuals, and neither do we screen people. Membership is age-restricted. But our website includes some articles of general interest from old editions that may be of interest to researchers.

Contributors to Exit Newsletter have included Peter Singer, Helga Kuhse, Colin Brewer, Faye Girsh, Joseph Thomson, Sheila Mclean, Michael Irwin, Derek Humphry, Arthur Caplan, Kenneth Boyd, Kenyon Mason, Ludovic Kennedy, Rev. A Bennett, Alexander McCall-Smith, John Beloff, (Bishop) Michael Hare-Duke, Oswald Hanfling, Wendy Savage, (Bishop) Alastair Haggart, Richard Nicholson, Philip Nitschke, Janet Radcliffe-Richards, Robin Downie, and many more.
