The flames are still burning. And just recently it was postulated through a new thread that it would be nice to have some interaction with AAWA board members on this forum. They are here. And many AAWA Supporters/volunteers are also here. Yet I believe they are hesitant to post here or even hint at their support. That is disheartening. Perhaps as you suggest, more time and testing will lay down a path of olive branches. This forum and AAWA have some spectacular human beings with very amicable personalities. The underlying fuck you with a smile as things stand is a real bummer and I hope it can improve somehow.

AAWA changed their name and installed board members that were real identifiable personas. While some of the dissension at its outset may have been overly aggressive from a band of JWN posters, they were ultimately right on target. These were points of contention for many, even for supporters of AAWA.
It would be refreshing if these points of contention could be categorized as constructive criticism and that AAWA made changes in part due to these criticisms.
Building a bridge between AAWA and even the most critical of the JWN community would be hugely advantageous for the entire ExJW community.
I am grateful for those who respectfully motioned for change and I am grateful that AAWA is not to set in stone not to make changes.
AAWA has produced some remarkable video and appears to be making headway on multiple levels in exposing harmful policies of the WT.
As an ExJW how is it possible not to support that effort or at least give a distant nod of "well done" ?

I have fully enjoyed this thread and the debate about specifics. There are strong arguments on both sides. I believe Marvin has presented a solid basis and reasoning for his extrapolations and find them adequate and compelling. I'm not clear on why they need to be degenerated or derided so vehemently, it is pointless in the end. Some people will understand and accept the findings and others will not for various reasons. The fact remains that thousands die from refusing life saving blood transfusions. That should be the focus and that should be the element of this saga that is exposed and developed.
Everything can be debated and there will always be two camps or more for every subject. It does not behoove anyone to remain so obstinate in their stance that forward progress can't be achieved. Commonality should be aggregated and used to move forward. JWs are killing people with their blood policy. It's a fact. Any body of work that conscientiously and conservatively attempts to expose this fact should be applauded.
Instead we have been bogged down by a benign post by a girl with very few twitter followers in the first place generating countless hours of debate that is hung up on numbers instead of the real straight forward issue that people are dying.

Who of you ever lied on your field service reports?
by Julia Orwell ini've read a few people mention making up the figures for the field service reports, and i want to find out how common it is.
i never lied on my report.
sometimes i'd round up 15 minutes if i'd mentioned jw stuff to my brother that month, but that wasn't falsifying.

Every month for the last 10 years I was active. I hated going out in service, if ever asked I would say since I worked at Cedars Hospital that I would witness to my patients or that I was studding with my daughter. Lies to cover up the lies, that is what I learned in the 25 years I was a JW.

Evil Elderettes, the true Hounds of Hell!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmy wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.

The men are worst then us woman when it comes to the gossip. Woman in the truth are like children, they emulate those they fear or look up to. My BFF, her father is the congregation service overseer and he was telling her all about how they had to remove a sister off of the table duty because she was eating at it. I'm sure she got a talking to about the proper time and place to eat yet the obese elder's wife is never spoken to about gluttony. The difference between this and high school is some of us are more eloquent with our words. Other of us have just learned not to be fearful and say what is on minds.

Discipline or child abuse? Still going on in the hall?
by Pickler indoes anyone else remember all the discipline of children at the meetings?
i was just thinking how i never see anyone physically punish their children anymore.
growing up attending meetings there was a constant stream of children being taken out & hit, as well as all the whispered threats, arm squeezing, pinching etc.

When my daughter was about a year old the congregation I attended had what I called the baby patrol. If I child made any noise at all, a MS would come and stand at the end of your aisle and stand there till you got up and went in the back room with the child and got them to stop making noise. If the child continued, one of elders wives would get and take the child from the mother and take them outside till they stopped crying. I refused to let the wife an elder that I knew their children and did not want my child growing up like them in any way. The Presiding Overseer, that's what they were called back then, gave me speech and read me the scripture on using the rod. Spanking is just not my thing. I let him know with a few choice words that he was not my husband nor the father of my child and that his opinion meant nothing to me, in fact I told him that his children were some of the rudest adults and I would never take advice from him as a parent. I did not go back to a meeting till I got a person and the baby patrol was abolished.

I have all the regular girl stuff, but the most important thing I have is the copy of the three year criminal restraining order against my ex. It's a beautiful thing to not have to deal with him in any.
