  I see no benefit to anyone if the AAWA topics die down. Members of JWN and AAWA called for a name change. It happened. Members of JWN an AAWA called for a "reboot" of the secret AAWA Facebook Group and it happened.

  Sure it takes a fair amount of effort to trapse through the personal agendas, bones to pick amongst members, and ping pong from lengthy and dogmatic scrutinization of events; but in the end, changes that are beneficial to an ExJW movement amongst an ExJW community have been achieved and hopefully it will continue to be that way.

  There are reasons for 'best practices' in the collection and management of information and why they should be followed.

  I want to know what your 'best practices' would be to rectify the AAWA registration to Facebook situation given your experience with running a site such as JWN.

  My first inclination would be to suspect you would say, "Ditch Facebook altogether" but as that isn't likely to happen what would you suggest then for registration, verification, vetting and time tested security measures?

  EXACTLY! Panic is a strong word. I am concerned though. I appreciate your willingness to express yours. Instead of pointing out your theatrics I would like affirmation that the concerns have no basis and WHY.

  yes Simon could enter my forum aliases as further confirmation in the questionaire because it is optional.

  So,

  Simon makes a fictitious email account named tylinbrando2 @ gmail.

  He then heads over to AAWA's websight and enters the email address and checks his answers.

  He makes sure to check my true Facebook identity, and enters my FB # or name in the appropriate box.

  AAWA administrators look up the Facebook account and if my privacy settings allow for it they send me an invitation to join the AAWA group along with a message that says you used the following email address to contact us: tylinbrando2 @ gmail

  1. I have the option to accept or decline the invitation. I am not being "force added"

  2. I now have the opportunity to reply that that is not my correct email address.

  3. Or I am a mole working with Simon and I accept the invitation and never say a word about the erroneous email account.

  I believe clarification will be forthcoming.

  I am always nice to you LOST, I have never attempted to bully you and if you perceive it that way I sincerely apologize.

  I welcome and look forward to your perspective and additions to discussion. We have shared some insults with each other(albeit none of mine were deleted by Simon) but we have made amends. I hoped we had anyway.

  When my posts are misconstrued to mean something I did not intend it is my right to clarify through participation.

  If what I have to offer bothers you, it is not something I am striving to achieve.

  BetterDaze said:

  That is exactly what Tylin wants me to do: Share my email so they can retaliate for noting disturbing comments THEY made on JWN

  What gives you the inclination to think this is what I want you or anyone to do? Why do you assume I would condone or instigate any type of retaliation on anyone?

  When I say I don't want anybody to do anything it was in reference to offering your email. I do not presume to know what the request for email information is other than to register on AAWA. I don't care if you are anybody chooses to offer it or not.

  Wha, asked about "support". I posted what is related to support from the AAWA websight.

  What am I doing betterdaze? Do you speak for the entire forum?

  I am not trying to characterize your remarks in any way. I am responding to your statements directed at me in an effort to clarify.

  I don't want anybody to do anything. I dont know what you mean about linking to support. I was copying the info from the websight. Why are you attacking me?

  Asking for email (plus other things) is unecessary and a risk. You should only ask for and trust information once someone has been authenticated.

  Don't we use our email address to sign up here? What is the difference? Is it because the email is being linked to the AAWA Website and to the Facebook Group in conjunction? Facebook requires email authentication as well. If the emails don't match that would be the first red flag once a Facebook Profile has been researched.

  Other websights allow Login utilizing Facebook Accounts for authentication. Maybe that would make more sense.

  I would warn anyone against sharing their identity on there with another site like that, you will then be linking your real identity to everything you have posted on this site.

  1. Do you belong to any JW forums or discussion groups?
  2. Yes No
  3. Favorite forum nicknames or IDs? (optional)

  Don't think #3 this is a good idea at all. Maybe they want to identify the famous "peanut gallery". (nothing implied on my part)

  Having other contact info around in the request like Email risks someone using that to check if the person really wants to join. This would still allow anyone to then have a 3rd party added.

  How would a 3rd party receive and respond to confirmation emails?

  I do agree the Websight invitation should be streamlined. The questionaire is a bit foreboding.
