  Lost, I assure you I have followed all the posts from the beginning as they were happening. I know specifically where things went south, the accusations, the denials, the finger pointing and denials of blame. I hoped solutions were made to rectify the initial situation concerning security to everyones satisfaction. That did not happen obviously and like I have said many have been alienated away from the AAWA group.

  Which really brings something to the fore. I disagree with some of the choices and statements made by the fledgling anti WT group and have voiced my concerns. While they have not been handled as I would have liked, I still respect its claimed mission and can support it. I do not continue to drum away about my concerns like a petulant child until I get my way.

  I appreciate discussions and constructive arguementation. The Ad Hominem lobbied from both sides may bring chuckles to some but it really only exacerbates an underlying mistrust and disdain for those on either side. I suppose that is to be expected from the lot of us who have broken free from a high control cult and have developed the need to turn over every stone on a path to understanding who exactly it is behind the curtain and what they are promoting.

  I suppose I like a good arguement. But I also like finding solutions without bullying. That is the basis for my stance thus far concerning AAWA and "jumping into" this fray.

  Mind Blown, I am not pissed off. It was a good learning lesson for me about this community. Regardless of my initial reception I found amazing support here and I have accomplished my goal of prosecuting my daughter's molester and seeing him in jail. What do I have to be pissed about? My point was simply to illustrate that when we choose a battle or label someone a troll before we know them we should be extremely careful because in the end what we say or the harm we cause by our nastiness will only make us look like an asshole when it is all said and done.

  Unfortunately it works both ways Lost. Some JWN forum members continue to negatively categorize AAWA as law breakers, ego maniacs, and cowards.

  Listener, did you ever watch Charlie's Angels on TV? I think you must interpret my narrative and metaphorical sarcasm for extremism. Relatively easy to do on a forum where facial expression and voice inflection can not be seen or heard.

  Extremism would be a statement like, " You dissenters should STFU, because AAWA is going to bring Watchtower to its knees. Don't be crying when you get left out in no mans land."

  Enjoy your popcorn.

  Cedars is only one member of the board. I look forward to meeting him someday hopefully with all of his extended family rescued from the clutches of the WT cult. If he wants to be the voice in the squawk box while all the AAWA Angels run around rescuing the world, I see no problem with that. in fact a TV series should be made about that as well.

  There are the other board members. All very out and recognizable. All extremely talented also. If your personal disdain for Cedars prevents you from being rational why not look to them? Are they not credible enough to carry the mission of AAWA and garner your support?

  Finally there are the volunteers. They have unbelievable talents and capabilities and resources, many who have never even been one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Will we disregard them and their worth because we have an aversion to one member of the board who needs anonymity for the time being?

  What a shame to miss out on the opportunity to work closely with people like these!

  I suppose it's fine to sit idle and watch them march onto the battle field. Many feel safe doing so. But what is the point of constantly trying to find fault with their mission or leadership and blasting it like a bunch of desparate cheerleaders?

  If you don't want to be a part of it fine. Why not grab your popcorn to sit back and watch the show?

  But you are right, mama's lurkers are grinning as the step children bicker.

  {A great amount of the pages surrounding AAWA was concerning a breach of trust and unsatisfactory action, even to the point of vilifying the victims. I was told I "should have picked better friends." }

  Dagney, unfortunately you are right. Many people have been alienated from the group and many will have no desire to go around it as a result. Much of the criticism could have been taken in a constructive way and was to an extent considering the security measures that are now in place. Still the foundations will always be held with skepticism and could remain a deterrent for many who would otherwise lend their support.

  I think this highlights the importance of weighing seriously what is put into print or stated from AAWAs PR stance. While we all have ideals and concerns nobody should EVER be made to feel they have been "vilified" Moving forward AAWA will hopefully avoid these scenarios and the segregative chain of events that follows.

  Absolutely not Problemaddict. You asked what is wrong with people. There has been over 50 pages on this forum dedicated to incessant complaining and whining regarding our favorite upstart WT antagonist group.

  My View and Bobby Dylan's View of AntiWatchtower Special Groups

  my computer crashed so i am not fully informed of the recent antiwatchtower organization.

  i must vent, however.

  perhaps i am the only one on the face of the earth (or the entire universe) but i found cedar's opening announcement insulting.

  Lost. If you feel I made statements specifically about you I sincerely apologize. I did say you were being sensationalist. If there is anything over the top of that, I was in error and hope you will excuse me.
