good afternoon jwn... .
i`ve spent the morning and part of my afternoon... getting to the bottom of... why names were added to the awaa fan page... it`s a dangerous thing to happen in our world... faders can be outed,we can lose,family,friends... the results can be an absolute disaster... .
aawa "did not" create the facebook awaa fan page.
Take your own responsibility, JWN!
JWN isn't an individual, or an organisation. It is a group of people only united by having had some type of interaction with a particular religious group.
You are JWN just as much as everyone else here.
If you have something specific to gripe about ... spit it out so that the other members know what you are complaining about.
Thanks

I made that suggestion two days ago. They didn't even comment on it.
i've been a lurker here and an inactive jw for a number of years.
i've always had some annoying doubts but brushed it aside but over the last few years i've had time to "think" away from the wt.
perhaps there is no paradise, maybe no god and this life is all there is.
I am descended from long lines of dead people and I suspect I have inherited their genes. Along comes some crazy American who has already made an ass of himself by prophesying the arrival of the Ancient Worthies in 1925 & tells my parents they're going to live forever, yeah, right. What are the chances of that?
maybe in hindsight they just dont see it worthwhile in monetary value or in gaining converts .who knows what contributions they received at that convention or what kickbacks they may have received from politicians/councils/municipalitys for holding it in their city.. if i remember correctly their was about a quarter of a million in attendance at that time ?
in the late 50`s ?.
i know in the 60`s and 70`s they went for more smaller international conventions in more locations around the globe.. and of course their have been far greater crowds at other religous festivals , such as billy graham crusades , the roman catholic popes appearances not to mention the muslim and indian festivals.. or is this just another indication of the slow decline in the numbers and influence of the watchtower religion overall ,are we in fact seeing the demise of the jehovahs witness religion , is it in fact running out of steam.. smiddy.
They are worried that apostates will post links to the Life pics of the queues for the baptism pools
making people cling to the organization more.
when i found out it was up i told so many people frantically that there is a new study article up and that it had so many changes.
my mother started crying saying how happy she is to be a part of an organization that is truly directed by jehovah... only the true faithful and discreeet slave could have such insight.... another person began to say how great it is to see the celestial chariot on the move.. .
After the 4th person came with a similar response I went outside and literally just screamed....
You should have got the message that you were doing it wrong when you failed with the first person.
When you try something new on JWs, start with the least important member to you so that you make your mistakes with JWs that don't directly affect your relationships with the people you really want to get 'out'.
Then ..... learn from each mistake. If you can't work out what went wrong .... STFU until you have worked it out.

No wonder I was so confused. I'd joined ATWA
i noticed this on slimboy's list of things that can get you df'd, and i checked it against the "flock" book.. .
there is no mention of blood transfusions!
i know they are downplaying this, but have they stopped df'ing people for it altogether?
See page 111, Willingly and unrepentantly taking blood, is considered to be DAing yourself.

Second, AAWA's key objectives are not to reform the Watchtower. They are:
I was referring to this on http://jwactivists.org/who-are-we/
However, in order to drive its message home more effectively and forcefully, AAWA chooses to focus on five key areas in which the Society must introduce urgent reforms. These are (in no particular order):
AAWA extends an open offer to the Governing Body of the Watch Tower Society (or their representatives) to meet with AAWA to discuss ways in which the organization can introduce much-needed reforms concerning the above core issues.
i know some of you have referenced excellent books but i am not sure where to find them.
i am looking for some very good books to give me the other side of not believing the bible.
i am not sure where i stand at this point and would like to be informed.
Go to the library and look for books on critical thinking. After you have read them, you should be ok reading some of the recommendations you will get here.
there are many cultural differences between the general population of the us and europe, what about jws?
i have heard about such things as beards being allowed, movies that a jw cant watch in the us or would be frowned upon watching being ok, same with tv shows, and even the way they dress in public.
seems more laid back over there if this is true.. any truth to this?
As long as you appear to be a potential convert, the sun will shine out of your bum. Make use of this status to make them defend their worst doctrines.
