"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA
by yesidid inthe first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.
that is my problem with "the name'.
active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your comment.
Just wanted to let you know that the reason I am pushing the point is because I think the concept is great, I have great admiration for the people involved and want the very best for the whole project. And I sure want them to have every success in their endeavours.
I am just concerned that the name may thwart their objectives.
Thanks again for your comment.

Active, or even questioning Witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name. It will stop many from going any further, from benefitting from all your hard work.
WHY TAKE THIS RISK???????? Why have 50% of an audience when you could have 100%. You and all the other volunteers will be working so hard, be fair to yourselves and your volunteers, harvest your maximum audience.
As an aside, to say marketing is not important is illogical. We all market ourselves and our ideas every day. Paul’s site name JWFacts is brilliant marketing. Simon shows he understands marketing by the name of this forum. Why didn’t Barbra Anderson call her site antiwatchtowerdocuments.com, after all the documents she presents are all anti Watchtower. No watchtowerdocuments.com is very good marketing.
And yes, I ran a business for many years and went to many marketing seminars.

Will AAWA Become another cult?
by His Excellency inplease sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.
everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".
becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.

Surely if such a high percentage of ex Witnesses find the name disagreeable, and we are all anti-Watchtower, then it must be obvious that many, many Witnesses, the ones we are all trying to release, will find the name an obstacle to further investigation.
Why put obstacles in the path of those we are trying to help?

I think the whole concept is a great and deserves our support.
However I also have serious reservations about the name.
Stonewall's suggestion ( "Association Against Watchtower Abuse") is much less confrontational and would be more effective IMHO.
