AAWA Advocates for Awareness of Watchtower Abuses AAWA is a charity registered in the UK and in the US

(AAWA) Advocates for Awareness of Watchtower Abuses is a legally incorporated educational organization committed to two key objectives:

Educating the non-JW world community about harmful policies for which the Watchtower is not currently held accountable. These policies result in the high incidence of child sexual abuse, domestic violence, emotional damage due to extreme shunning of family member

s, needless deaths due to the banning of certain blood treatments and loss of personal growth and potential by demonizing higher education. Assisting those who wish to leave the organization by making it easier for such ones to get the help and support they need.

Such a tragic story. Hopefully, it will do some good and help others make better choices.

A 4th-gen JW nearly died twice at 17 refusing blood transfusions. 12+ years after leaving, he discovered cult indoctrination still gripped his mind when facing his first transfusion.

Powerful story about recovery from high-control groups.
