How to Take Down the AAWA! (For those that have been hurt by that org)

(if you're tired of aawa threads, please be aware, this is an aawa thread.).

sadly - there are people who have been negatively affected by the aawa, and like other organizations, the aawa made protecting it's name and reputation a priority over helping and protecting the people it should have been trying to help.

like other organizations, they won't discuss the issues publicly with the community, insisting instead on discussions behind closed doors and "getting the names" of people expressing concerns.. .

it is easy really.

it is easy to identify people who want something.

as a business person, you learn to identify the needs in a crowd and think about how you can supply them with a product.

just a curious question.... how many ex-jw's here have yet to perform a pledge of alliegance or sing the national anthem?

now that i think about it... after years of 'standing firm' and refusing to these things as a 'brainwashed babe' - even in my wiser years i haven't done them.. do you feel any reistance toward doing so?

are you proud of your country?

New To Wine - Looking for Suggestions
by HintOfLime in
1. social
2. entertainment
usually, in the evenings i like to relax, watch a movie or a comple tv shows, and sip on some vodka.. lately, however, i've gotten into reading again - and vodka just isn't the right drink.

the characters in the books are often read of drinking this wine or that - which has given me a bit of a craving for a good red wine.

something relaxing, and easy enough that it doesn't get you buzzed after a few sips (inhibiting my ability to read, etc.).
