That's great Tylin. Maybe you can get Cedars "ear" with that massage...or the group administrator. Probably they will listen more to an "insider".

"I know Cedars is pissed for me 'allowing' things to be discussed here "

It's important to have this discussion. I was really surprized whan I learned that a AAWA-thread was locked on request by Cedars some days ago. This was an alarm-bell for me. It smells information control.

I think a lot of people at a JW-forum is very sensitive to information control...as well as to some other things we have seen these days. "Huge mistakes were made...but not by us" .

The explanation with "overlapping groups" seems not to be fully credible.

"I fully agree with this and believe Facebook should eliminate the option to do so."

It's possible to have that opportunity. In a secret XJV-group I belong to, every new potential member is checked out by the administrator. Noone cad add people to that group.
This is the point...by letting someone add mabe 1000 people you made the group corrupt (with active WT-apologist etc). That's the reason why it should be a good idea deleting the whole group and restart it.

I think Simon expressed this problem very clearly in the other AAWA-thread:

"Don't shoot the messenger just because they give you bad news! And don't dismiss people's legitimate concerns as attempts to redicule.

People are trying to help you avoid organization-ending events but to be helped, people need to listen and the constant denials that anything has gone wrong are what I believe is infuriating people."

It's not a problem for me...as far as I know I haven't been outed. But we certainly know people have.

So, you are still denying the fact that people have been outed? This is interesting.

Really? So..in that case, why have a secret Facebook group? Isn't that to fool people?

Or, is this just another attempt to blame the victims..the people that were outed.?
