Personal inquiries and requests for help and support:
Tylin, why did you create a link to JWN's homepage with the word "support" when it is not there on the AWAA website? Just curious.
That is not a link I inserted. I believe it is forum software that adds those word association links. Simon?

Our Humble Apologies
We are also mindful of several individuals who suffered distress on April 3 when they were added to our group against their will. We should have handled matters differently. We therefore offer our most sincere and unreserved apologies to all of these ones, and any others who were in any way harmed through being added to our Facebook group without their consent.

Guilt for having sexbefore and wanting to have sex period.
has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.

When I was in high school on a class trip to a ski resort, one of my classmates whos Grandma claimed to be "of the annointed" flew accross the room about 10 to 12 feet over a set of single beds and crashed into the wall.
Scared the crap out of me.
I realize now that kid was just super athletic...
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.
think of me what you will. Not agreeing with X doesn't make me anti-X necessarily, does it?
Amongst us here absolutely not, in front of 3 of your elders unfortunately very much so for you and so many in your situation.
i am an inactive jw.
i havent been on this forum for a few months and have been lurking in others.
i have met a few people in real life and online, both on this forum and on others.
Simon not everyone that supports AAWA believes that everyone from JWN is just out to get them. There have been excellent points made here to remedy problems in a constructive way and those concerns have been forwarded and acted upon within AAWA.
But AAWA supporters have also been, as you describe, "attacked or oppressed" I could spend an hour compiling just the attacks launched at Cedar's alone. You yourself deleted the thread with one of the most vile personal attacks launched directly at me by a specific poster, otherwise I could point to that as well. I should also add that certain posters here have also been attacked by those claiming to be AAWA supporters.
AAWA administrators receive messages every day from members who are voicing their concern over the "being added" issue. They are receiving messages every day about security issues raised because of the mass "add" of unverified members.
There is no way the administration doesn't "get" it.
As I have said repeatedly, if the issues are not resolved, this is going to fester and push supporters inside and outside of AAWA far away from AAWA.

What could have been potentially harmful for me could have been just as potentially harmful for them, since nobody involved in the formation of the group even has a clue of who I am
and that is exactly what I am concerned about as well and want remedied.You were not screened and vouched for and whoever added you needs to be made aware of the very danger you express above. Until the entire membership is rebooted this is always going to be a point of contention for AAWA. I expect the issue to be addressed sooner rather than later.
No one that has the authority(AAWA) currently to make this change is commenting here. But they are hearing the same things above on AAWA's pages and PMs.

I agree that a complete reboot is necessary Fizzy.
Members of AWAA were invited or added from the Facebook Groups above and hundreds more I did not list.
The choice to accept or decline was not afforded them by Facebook Protocol just as it was not for the other groups they belonged to.
In each group one only has to look under the users name to see who and when they were "added" by.
