  hmmmm...after thinking this over I tend to agree that I like the mission statement but can see how some may be initially turned off by the name with "anti" in it when you think of "anti-Christ" etc.

  To me a name with the same acronym but different words could draw even more to the cause.

  Such as AAWA (Association Against Watchtower Abuse).

  No one likes to hear of someone being abused in any way shape or form. Generally I've found that the word abuse grabs attention because others want to see why/how someone is experiencing abuse. Whether it be wife abuse,child abuse,drug abuse etc. it can make others take notice and want to see how another is being unfairly treated by some.

  But that being said, I have to say the video in and of itself was superbly done IMO and have already been showing it to many family members and friends as well as put a link to it on a couple websites I frequent.

  Keep up the good work and engaging in the fine fight to liberate and free the minds of many others.

  The video was impressive Cedars and very tastefully done!

  I can see this making an impact on many that are just starting to have doubts or concerns about the WT org.

  All that were involved are truly to be commended.

  Will be sharing the link to that vid on many of the forums I go to.

  Looking forward to what is in store for the future from AAWA.

  I'm new here

  i haven't got much of a story.

  i'm in my late teens, grew up in it, and got out of the society's regime by the skin of my teeth.

  nearly go baptized because i firmly did believe it was the "truth" but because of a gut feeling that held me back, that i almost ignored, i didn't sign my blood to big brother.

  Welcome aboard!

  I'm so jealous that you got out before you were baptized.

  And to learn the truth about "the truth" at such a young age. You've got your whole life ahead of you unlike a lot of us that learned after getting baptized and spending a lot of years in it.

  Cedars,

  I went ahead and moved some stuff to scan these pages for you. I'm going to e-mail them to you but please do me a favor.

  Don't give my e-mail address to anyone or my personal name that comes through on e-mail.

  I'm still in the "witness protection program" if you get my drift and don't want to blow my cover as I try and help more to get out of the org.

  Thanks and let me know if it comes out clear for you.

  There wil be a lot more to this story than is told,,, should be good story when it finally comes out.

  maisha according to the article in that OP, this story is almost 3 years old. The date is May of 2010.

  Not sure how long on the "finally comes out" part if it hasn't been released by now.

  Cedars I have the 1992 WT bound volume but my scanner/printer combo is currently not hooked up to computer because of last few days rearranging my office.

  So if no one else has one I can hopefully help you out in about 8 more hours.

  Can you say on here what exactly you need scanned? Such as article or page number etc?

  shunning

  by zeb in

  a young member of the cong was dfd for not giving up the realtionship they had commenced.

  well, how powerful is the passion of youth.

  later it was stated to the cong by the do that we were not following the the requirements to shun this one.. i felt a touch awkward for them but if we met would always say hi and speak to them like a human to another human.

  Good for you zeb

  Isn't it nice to no longer be shackled down with false doctrine and to be able to show compassion and fellow feeling to all and not let someone in NY dictate to you whether you can say "hello" or "hi" to a fellow human being.

  "Millions Now Living Will Never Die," Predicted the Watctower before 1914.

  by Scott77 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  predicted the watctower falsely predicted before 1914 that,"millions now living will never die" before 1914. its now a year before we hit 100 years mark.

  was god's or god's holy spirit guiding them when they falsely predicted that prophesy?

  what is your reaction or perspective on this big lie?.

  Suraj Khan no need to hang head and shuffle away friend.

  I know what you mean about that particular WT cover. It brings back bad memories to me as well because it was at this time (1984) when I was doing aux. pioneer work for the "society" and had placed that WT with many non-JW family members.

  And it gets even more interesting, I personally knew two of them off that cover in real life. So it hits homes everytime I see that cover shown in a thread.

  And yes both of them are now dead just as all that came before them always waiting on "the end of this present system of things".

  Always hoping to see the fulfillment in their lifetimes and being told it was so soon but never living to see it.

  Scott77 very nice that you tried to correct the thread topic. I know what you mean about the 30 minute timer. That has bitten me in the butt before when I wanted to correct something and wasn't allowed to.

  But at least you came back and corrected it in the body of the discussion. I tip my hat to you for that.

  Thats what I like to see and what I was wanting any lurkers out there to see as well. WE don't claim to be perfect and if mistake is made and pointed out, generally the author of said mistake will remedy it as quickly as possible.

  Unlike what I experienced as a JW. I could show them where a mistake was and instead of admitting it, it was just wait on Jehovah or you read it wrong brother or you read something into that wasn't there. Very seldom was ever an error admitted up to. Whether it was congregationally or organizationally my experience was the same with them.

  The sad part to me, is if they would have admitted up to them and not tried to cover over anything, I'd probably still be there unknowingly slaving away for some men in N.Y. or wherever in the future they may move. So I guess it was to my advantage they dodged the hard questions or tried to cover because it made me do something that most people don't want or like to do....dig deeper into the society's history.

  Anyways thanks again for correcting this and I've enjoyed your post in the past but this gives me even more respect for you and whatever you post in the future.

  Regards,

  Tonight I celebrate a personal milestone...my 1000 post. Now the big decision...chocolate or extra alcohol or both

  by StoneWall in

  2. friends

  yeah i know its taken me almost 5 years to reach 1000 post and many of you get that in a few months.. but i do take long extended breaks from the forums (especially in summer months for sun an fun).. i've seen where others had made a thread on celebrating this particular point of being a member on here and thoguht well that sounds fun so i will too.. plus considering how close we are to the "end of this present wicked system of things", and that it was going to happen any day now, and right around the corner, i figured i'd not make it long enough to hit 1000 post.

  lol.

  anyways hope this post finds all of you out there in good health, with plenty of wealth and enjoying your life to its fullest.

  Captain Obvious,

  I'm just having some Evan Williams whiskey mixed with a little Cola at the moment. Nothing too exciting, but hey it works.

  Evan and Jack Daniels have both helped me through some tough times in life. (Who needs pills when a little alcohol in moderation works wonders?)

  Anyways I've searched my house through looking for some of those dark chocolate bars my wife usually gets us. They have the almonds and cherries blended in with them and they are so good with any type of drink.

  But Alas there's not even one to be found. :(

  Guess tonight I'll make do with a little Evan and maybe snack on some sea salted chips.
