For any that may have been "Outted" on Facebook regarding joining a particular "Association"

by StoneWall in

jw
friends

i can relate to what you're going through because i'm still in the "witness protection program" so to speak, due to family etc.. i would just like to make some recommendations/suggestions to help you with damage control because i hate knowing that you are having to face this in your lives at this time in addition to whatever else you're currently dealing with.. to me it is imperative that you take a proactive/preemptive stance in being able to get through this realtively unscathed if possible.. and it can be done.. first post on your wall on fb that you found out the hardway that facebooks privacy and security settings leave a lot to be desired.. let your friends/family know that you were not aware that others, without your knowledge or consent could add you to many groups out there whether you wanted to or not.. make sure not to name this particular "association or organization" in your message so as not to draw even more undue attention to you or/and it.. this way it further distances you to any perceived ties they may have that linked you with it.

by not using the name it also shows that there are others groups you may have been added to without permission not just this one.

that way it is all inclusive and it will help in your defense to draw attention away from what that one's main focus is.. then you can finish up by stating that you have taken steps to remove your name from this group as well as any others that someone may have added your name to without your knowledge.. you may also want to add that if anyone see's where your name has been added to a group that they would find hard to believe that you would join, to please send you a pm since everything doesn't show up on your personal wall and you may have no knowledge of it.. this is only my suggestions and you can use it to your advantage if so desire.

Thanks for starting this thread stonewall and you make some good suggestions for damage control.

I really don't think aawaa can move on from this if there is potential harm waiting to happen to even one unsuspecting individual who has been force added to an anti watchtower group.

Juan viejo,

The best thing to do is to remove everyone who was force added and allow them to join of their own accord.

A friend of mine was force added and was quickly able to extract himself from the facebook group the next day. He almost had a heart attack when he saw the anti watchtower title. He certainly will not be joining the main aawa group.

Edit. Facebook despite its many failings is a lifeline for many Jehovah's witnesses and xjws who are asking questions because of the social contact it gives them. Aawa needs to respect whatever privacy they are afforded by Facebook and show that they do.

Juan, cedars, jaw facts, bo Jensen, danmera, Richard e Kelly, Barbara Anderson, lady lee please do something to protect the ones who are prolly still unaware that they have been added to an anti watchtower activist group.

AAWA - Every generation needs a new revolution - Thomas Jefferson

by Christ Alone in

let me say, i was so excited about aawa.

but these guys have tried to start a revolution based on 20/21st century ideals.

revolution is anarchy.

Thank you christ alone. The name Aawa brings to mind The spirit of Antigone for me. I also like that the AA is an indrawn breath while WA is a powerful exhalation that then provides impetus for the bird to fly free in the artwork in their title. the sun and blue sky are its new home - the dark tower of the watchtower prison invaded by the liberators. This is timeless - think of the prisoners being freed in acts or how liberty came to South Africa. Mind you people can sometimes be slow to embrace freedom or they may not be ready for it (i am thinking of those who cry persecution but become liberated later).

Aawa is also a primal scream against mind control.

This weeks study article: God gave us these truths, yet we admit he hasn't actually given us the truth yet-- think about it

by The Quiet One in

wt 2/13 page 3 paragraph 3--> "though religious error abounds worldwide, how thankful we are that god has given us spiritual light and truth!

(read psalm 43:3,4.

) whereas the masses of mankind walk in darkness, we joyfully keep on walking in god-given spiritual light.

Does the article mention Jesus at all?

A quick look at ps43:3&4 suggests that light and truth are associated with joy, song and wanting to be in the presence of holiness and all this comes after a period of bewilderment, mourning and anxiety (verses 1&2). It doesn't seem like the singer/writer is trying to be rationalising by means of facts. Rather he seems to be emphasizing the power of invention (the lyre) and the imagination (he imagines himself being led to the sanctuary and then experiencing great joy). This is altogether more mysterious than facts (contradicting the later paras you quote from). Good paragraph to take a stab at participating. What is the question on this para the quiet one?

Wow this is Exhilarating and empowering - I definitely got a strong vibe of communalty from this venture.

Strangely enough I have been going over different ways of focusing on the spirit of communality within the congregation while attending meetings over the last few months. Communalty that can spill over to others also.

There is a Mole in Brooklyn

by Oubliette in

reading cedar's excellent article about the july 15, 2013 new-light" study edition of the watchtower got me thinking:.

the control freaks in brooklyn known as the governing body (aka fds) must be having conniption fits knowing that there is a mole in bethel leaking information to apostates!

"three weeks ahead of its expected release date in mid-april, a scanned copy of the july 15 2013 "study edition" of the watchtower was leaked to the office of jwsurvey by a conscientious active witness within the organization.".

Chances are that bethelites all over the world already have this magazine in their possession (I am assuming that the articles cedars refers to are real and we will only know for sure once we can download them)
