hmm...AAWA does take donations i hear. im glad any money "donated" to them is being put to good use (<--- sarcasm). i pass a kingdom hall every day on my way to work. i give it the bird on occasion..but it accomplishes nothing other than making me feel good for all of 2 seconds (the emotional scars will always be there to some degree and i have accepted that, afterall it was a big part of my life)...i don't know if i would start an organized fingering campaign for it though. this really makes those who left for good reason look really stupid. it fuels the flames of the watchtowers anti-apostate claims about being mentally diseased. if this fingering campaign is indeed true, i am ashamed of this AAWA thing almost as much as i am of the watchtower. i havent visited thier website yet so i dont know for sure (i value my anonymity for family reasons), but this seems to go way beyond people simply helping people and just being a good sounding board to those who need it. all i know is, people who cut off thier nose to spite thier face usually aren't taken very seriously and rarely last long. the watchtower is thier own worst enemy and if you want to do some damage, just share info about them and thier method of operation...don't start a fingering campaign. my 2 cents anyways. i could be wrong.

I was thinking...I've read quite a few psychology reports on spouse abuse. Many times it mentioned that the #1 reason a wife will not leave her husband is because he makes her feel that everything bad that happens to her is her fault and that she could never live without him.
I wonder why the society doesn't mention such cult like control as the prime reason.

Jehovah's Witnesses and spiritual healers top complaints to Charity Commission

Charity Commission
The RSPCA and National Trust are also in top 10 most-complained about charities, the regulator has revealed
The central body for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Britain and a spiritual healer’s organisation were the charities about which the Charity Commission received the most complaints in the two years to March 2012.
The regulator said it had received 13 complaints about both the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain and the NFSH Charitable Trust during the period.
The figures were revealed in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act, made by the Conservative MP Simon Hart in July, for a list of the ten charities about which the commission received most complaints.
The RSPCA and JNF Charitable Trust, which is concerned with Israel, were the next most complained about, with 12 complaints to the commission over two years.
Hart, a former chief executive of the pro-hunting charity the Countryside Alliance, was one of a group of cross-party group of politicians that has called on the commission to investigate the RSPCA after it spent more than £320,000 on a successful private prosecution of the Heythrop Hunt.
The commission's list does not include complaints made to charities themselves or to other regulators such as the Advertising Standards Authority and the Fundraising Standards Board.
The commission said none of the complaints against charities in the top 10 resulted in any formal action against those organisations. It also said the number of complaints would not necessarily mean that a charity had acted wrongly or contrary to its charitable purpose.
"An internal dispute within a membership body could result in several letters of complaint or dissatisfaction, but may not be be a fair indication of the level of service that is being received by beneficiaries," said Liam Carroll, the commission’s complaints manager.
The commission received 11 complaints about both Smile Train, which provides surgery for children in developing countries with cleft lip and cleft palate, and Age UK. The National Trust and The Royal British Legion were next with nine complaints.
The Global Warming Policy Foundation and the General Medical Council made up the rest of the most complained about charities in the top 10.
It said it did not usually compile a list of most complained-about charities and had only done so in response to the FoI request.
"The number of complaints received about a charity would not necessarily mean that that charity had acted wrongly or contrary to its charitable purpose,"in his response to the request.

Confidential Materials!
by Atlantis inall documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.
they will not be posted out here on the board.
if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.
