Witness My Fury
The name was a turn off for me but I'd take a suck it and see attitude to it and see what the news outlets have to say about it, positive and negative.
I appreciate you taking this approach. As Juan Viejo2 says, we are always happy to accept any suggestions, but the reality is that we are legally incorporated as The Association of Anti-Watchtower Activists. We have launched under than name through use of a video that took me over a month to produce. We will therefore, in reality, be keeping the name - and the "proof of the pudding" will be seen in how people respond to us. So far links are being established with at least two other organizations with more to follow. We have had a steady stream of donations since Wednesday, and I have nearly 80 volunteer applications to trawl through and make assignments from.
Early indications are that the name isn't such a huge turn-off in terms of gaining support. We are proud of our name and will be sticking with it, even though we always appreciate feedback. I'm sure everyone understands that hindsight is a wonderful thing, but once decisions are made sometimes you need to stick to them and see them through. Rather than focus on our name, we ask people to focus on our Mission Statement, which explains what our name means and what we are all about. So far people are clearly doing that, because the response to AAWA so far has been almost too overwhelming for me to handle.
