  WITH LADY LEE IN, A NEWLY REBRANDED AWAA IS GETTING BETTER EACH DAY

  by Scott77 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  looks like the awaa people are here to stay.

  i sense they have withered the rentless criticism and now have been refined for the long haul.

  they have been washed in the previous blood of jesus christ and declared fit to the fine fight.

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

  by HintOfLime in

  (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.. .

  Why Do You Come To This Site?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe that this site, jwn, serves many purposes.

  .

  some are here almost, out of need.. others are here because they want to know the latest in watchtower world.. still others come here for the entertainment.. why do you frequent this place?

  I like the fact that I can keep up with the latest bull from the Society. There was enough members on here willing to post the newest absurdity from the WT which kept me on guard, especially regards to the shunning I had to expect.

  And Blondie... she's brilliant.

  Wassamatter Lime? My post is a mild taste of the medicine some of your cronies have dished out to me recently. You just got some back. Go on, take one for the team.

  Don't cry

  I was wrong

  Probably the only thing you've been right about so far.

  My Final Goodbye

  by Lady Lee in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.

  i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.

  i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

  Bye Lady Lee. I totally get why you felt its time to move on.

  Simon:

  Lee: Just be true to yourself and don't fall for the promise of position within an organization:

  Not in the least bit patronising.

  No wonder the good on this board are leaving. Lime is as bitter and unpalatable as ever. This board likes to think of itself as somehow virtuous and good as if JWN is a place to heal, (and occasionally it is) but to be truthful, some of you are venomous shrews with a propensity to harp and crow like vultures picking over scraps. THis board shouts down those that disagree of its opinion of AAWA and isn't afraid to use the deepest personal insults whilst doing so. (Simon allows this likely because the board is reflecting his own view on AAWA). This board has been aptly compared to a peanut gallery with the likes of Lime, *lost*, Wha'happened, fizzy widget etc in the front row.

  I notice Barb anderson had something to say on this matter but I bet she edited her post clear to avoid another row. I suspect she was none too pleased with the rhetoric expressed with the OP and I can't say I blame her.

  I can say with this board that when it comes to reasonable discussion it can be as bitter as Lime, totally *lost*. You may well ask "wha' happened?" Probably a bad case of the Fizzy Widgets.

  Eww, Nasty

  Constructive feedback for AAWA leadership (IMHO)

  by besty in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  1 - reconsider your existence - there might be a reason why the most effective resources to date have been solo efforts.

  2 - recognize that even well-intentioned organizations will firstly seek self-preservation.

  3 - be aware that egos and emotional stupidity have torn apart much grander edifices than aawa.

  I notice several people on this thread have recommended a reboot of AAWA, I think it was Ty and Outlaw.

  Maybe the lengthy time their website has been down means they're doing just that.

  This could be a very positive sign.
