XJW Protests & Videos
.
I am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "A JW memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest. This video and others like it received positive comments from AAWA members. I'VE noticed some apostates start off sounding reasonable untill they fall in love with the camera and then they come off as obsessed and ...well, a bit crazy. The sheer number of XJW videos made suggests maybe there is something compulsive/ addictive going on. They seem proud when one of their minions acts out, like giving the middle finger at a KH or shouting at JWs on the street. It's kind of embarrassing.
It's dangerous to urge emotionally troubled people to act out and exploit their actions to get attention. I worry it could escalate into violence. These apostates act like they care more about impressing each other than trying to help anyone in the cult. I could see them being competitive, trying to out-do each other with more extreme stunts. Eventually somebody will go too far, and someone will get hurt. Maybe this is what AAWA wants? They are so desperate for publicity, as if bad publicity is better than none.
I've read some of the threads here on JWN about AAWA controversy. I know they don't like criticism and delete any negative posts. I'm wondering if anyone is in charge over there? I hope the leadership of AAWA has some sort of plan if one of their members gets hurt or into legal trouble.
I don't mean to be an alarmist but I'm worried they might do something drastic. Am I over-reacting?
