talesin, are you and I FB friends? I think we might be but I'm not sure, cuz it's hard to keep track of who's who. :)

Is AAWA a non profit? Or is the application still in consideration?

by wha happened? in

i've heard both.

i dunno.

which one is it?.

I'm going to take donations for my daughter to do an education abroad trip. Teaching a young person about other people and cultures and instilling respect and love for all is probably the most worthy cause around. EVERYBODY profits. We hope to set up a kickstarter account :)

My Meetings With Two Elders Today, "I am not a Christian and I am going to Die!"

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

hi, my time is drawing ever closer as i can no longer speak lies about the organization and all the past revisions and my sins i committed against everyone i judged while serving on judicial committees.

i lay awake at night with guilt because i ask jehovah and his son jesus christ to forgive me for being so judgemental, self assured and arrogant at certain times in my life.

i was not a prince of peace, at times i was a coward when i was first appointed because i wanted to keep all things peaceful with my peers, not with my heavenly father and saviour jesus christ.

leaving-quietly is right. They have no more authority with this new doctrine. And they're too stupid to even realize it. lol

I always think of this when I hear someone referred to as "remarkable."

If the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Could the Governing Body all die at once?

by Eustace in

i'm thinking that if all the governing body members all died at once, it would disprove this whole "the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave" business once and for all.. the faithful and discreet slave, according to watchtower teaching, will continue to exist into the time of the end.

so if the governing body all die at once, that means they ain't the faithful and discreet slave.. they need more youngish gb members quick!.

Mad Sweeney

If they all died at once, they would invent a "rapture" doctrine instantly to explain it.

The Advocates for Awareness of Watchtower Abuses (AAWA) [WARNING]

by Simon in

uncensored discussions and information for anyone interested in the advocates for awareness of watchtower abuses or 'aawa' http://aawa.co/ (previously known as "the association of anti-watchtower activists http://jwactivists.org/) and how it's handled and responded to privacy issues and put people at risk:.

aawa is here!!

(the association of anti-watchtower activists)an invitation to a new effort- aawawhy when i logged onto aawa did it go to facebook ?in regards to aawaaawa - every generation needs a new revolution - thomas jeffersonnotice how the introduction of the aawa has brought out the loonies lately?will aawa become another cult?

Mad Sweeney

I think friends add friends to groups and admins invite people to groups. It's just two types of nomenclature for the same result, I believe.

Rather than seeing the pissing match continue, I'd like to see a serious answer to bohm's question.

It's only a FB group, for crying out loud. It's not like anyone wants to see the volunteer list shredded.

AAWA has caused divisions and has lost the opportunity to be effective

by NoRegrets in

here's the thing,.

the whole aawa idea had noble ideas behind it, but the ship has sailed and the movement needs to go back to the drawing board.

period.

Mad Sweeney

Thing is, *lost*, is that this isn't an argument anymore because AAWA is no longer engaging JWN in debate. Why can't the haters let it drop, too?

Haven't read the entire thread. Just the OP.

My response: LMAO

Just because a couple handfuls of know it alls on a message board aren't happy with an organization doesn't invalidate the organization and what it's trying to do. And before I'm accused of shilling or something, let it be known that although I'm in their FB group, I'm neither a member nor a volunteer of AAWA and don't intend to be.

My View and Bobby Dylan's View of AntiWatchtower Special Groups

by Band on the Run in

jw
friends

my computer crashed so i am not fully informed of the recent antiwatchtower organization.

i must vent, however.

perhaps i am the only one on the face of the earth (or the entire universe) but i found cedar's opening announcement insulting.

Mad Sweeney

Band on the Run,

Are you alright? You’re loved, and your views are just as important as the next man’s.
