It's a great book, I read it early in my exit.

Why isn't anyone on JWN invited to the Facebook discussion by AAWA tonight?

by wha happened? in

i guess we're persona non grata now.

take a look at what i found on facebook:.

we're firing up the grill again!

It's clear that a decision has been made by the board of AAWA to disengage from any discussion regarding this matter on JWN so I don't think you're going to get any further answers here.

I personally will not be getting involved at this stage, partly because I disagree with the choice of name but mostly because the lack of concern for people's privacy and attempts to shut down discussion are disconcerting to me.

Are you more ecological, more economical or more wasteful? Did your habits change at all when you left the borg?

by likeabird in

jw
friends

i know from living on a borg budget, you don't have much choice but to live economically.

recycling, while ecological, can also be a form of economy.. did the verse "god will bring to ruin those ruining the earth" play a guilt factor in your ecological habits?

i know it used to hum along in the back of my mind.. did any of your habits change when you left the borg?

I am the same as cantleave.

I was added to the Group without requesting I be added. Fortunately I have a separate profile for this reason.

"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA

by yesidid in

the first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.

that is my problem with "the name'.

active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

AAWA is here!! (The Association of Anti-Watchtower Activists)

facebook the association of anti-watchtower activists.

This is a fabulous development and the mission statement is definitely something I can get on board with. Add me to the list of people who don't like the name though. I second the comments that the name should be positive. Something around advocating for human rights for Jehovah's Witnesses.

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

by cedars in

http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

I have just realised something else. In the previous understandings the F&DS included women. They have finally closed the door on that because no woman could ever be a member of the Governing Body.

Reverse feminism or what?
