Constructive feedback for AAWA leadership (IMHO)

by besty in

1 - reconsider your existence - there might be a reason why the most effective resources to date have been solo efforts.

2 - recognize that even well-intentioned organizations will firstly seek self-preservation.

3 - be aware that egos and emotional stupidity have torn apart much grander edifices than aawa.

Everyone has a right to voice an opinion, everyone has a right to agree or disagree. Funny how some try to guilt those who don't agree and are insulted by being called names like "the peanut gallery". Yeah, funny that.

Some will, some won't. I really haven't said much though I do have an opinion.

Are you pro-activist, anti-activist, or passive?

friends

i ask this question because, having been on this forum for a year now, it's clear to me that there are many shades to so-called "apostasy", and this is particularly evident in the realm of anti-watchtower activism.. when i use the word "activism", likely picketing kingdom halls and conventions springs to mind.

however, activism can be far more subtle than that.

just having a website or a book that sheds light on the flaws of watchtower dogma is really a form of activism - arguably the most effective form at that.

Palm is doing fine and has moved on. We're friends on Facebook and I'm glad we made that connection before she got the boot here. She's a sweet funny and smart lady. I don't think she wants to come back but she might be talked into it.
