And where are you getting this 'truth seeker russel' comparison to Cedars from? Ideology doesn't even come into this.. Only if Russell had campaigned merely to expose the harm caused by the Catholic Church, with no other agenda/statement to that effect, would you have anything close to a fair comparison of a religious zealot like Russell to the aims of AAWA..

Will AAWA Become another cult?
by His Excellency inplease sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.
everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".
becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.

I think that you'd find if you were to reread the AAWA thread that he did listen, he just decided not to go along with the crowd and make an unnecessary change. I'm not sure WHO you think you are.. to say that Cedars has no right to ask people to help with a cause that they believe in, if he doesn't want to make a change every time that people with no 'vote' or legal right to make such decisions want a certain change to be made.. When were you appointed as a moderator?

Innapropriate for young children? Scare tactics?
by The Quiet One ingods word for us through jeremiah page 128 '..his mother bought a ram and a ewe.
he looked after them, and the ewe produced two lambs a year, so the flock began to grow..."early one morning while i was still in bed," he recalls, "i heard them bleating.
when i finally did, i saw a pack of wild dogs running away from my lambs, which had their bellies ripped open.

If you started an organisation (related to exposing the Watchtower, helping Jw's who are disfellowshipped, or any other worthy cause).. What would it be called and what would you aim to achieve?

Protests and organisation: "Abolition campaigns and religious groups.The demand for freedom for enslaved people had become almost universal. It was now driven forward, not only by the formal abolition campaign but by a coalition of non-conformist churches as well as Evangelicals in the Church of England. The act, however, did not free enslaved people immediately; they were to become"apprentices"for 6 years. Compensation of 20 million was to be paid to the planters. Protests finally forced the government to abolish the apprenticeship system on 1st August, 1838" http://abolition.e2bn.org/slavery_111.html

Without any 'holy spirit' or divine power to make sure that things work out well, organisation to some extent is necessary at all levels in life. How was racial slavery (largely) abolished throughout the world? How did women receive civil rights etc..

"claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days"-- Where did you get this impression from about AAWA? Your english is good, by the way.

I see.. If you're speaking theoretically, about if in the future Cedars got an army of devoted followers who were willing to do anything (even break the law) to follow his orders, I understand. I thought that you were suggesting that it is close to being a cult now..

Seriously, I'm not attacking you, I've just made a fool of myself enough times to have learnt that it's better to look things up first.. I still forget though at times.

I'd personally find it far more worrying if someone in a position of great responsibility made a relatively insignificant change (there's no moral principle at stake here) to something that is already legally established, just because a few anonymous people on an internet forum didn't like it.. Further, even if he were to show himself to be a maniacal tyrant, he only has 1 vote on a board of 8 people. The word 'cult' is absurd when applied to this group, as it has absolutely none of the signs of a cult. Nobody can be punished or controlled by them.. Google 'mind control BITE', and learn something before charging in without any idea what you're talking about.. (don't feel that I'm being nasty, I'm just trying to save you further embarassment)
