It's incorporated in Arizona. I lived there for a number of years, it's still the Wild West! Plus their incorporation tax laws seem to be a little more lenient.
Plus it doesn't claim to be a religion. It's trying to help people get out of religions.

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.

Judicial committee questions
by slimboyfat inwhen the elders invite someone to a judicial committee does the person under scrutiny have the right to ask beforehand what evidence will be adduced against him and what witnesses will be called?
in other words is there pre-trial disclosure within the watchtower's quasi legal process?

We just had a friend of ours go thru this. He wrote a letter asking for the accusation in writing, evidence against him and names of the accusers and gave a copy to each elder. They all destroyed them and he doesn't know what is going on now but one elder told him he has a bad attitude.
Funny thing about all of this, his crime was only having dinner with my husband who is technically still a JW in good standing. By the way, my mom in law has maliciously slandered all of us on hearsay. We know they have NO evidence. But that isn't stopping them.
I did talk to a lawyer regarding this and our civil rights guarantee that we know what we're being accused of and we're entitled to representation, even in a religious setting. Unfortunately most lawyers don't want to get into a religious issue. So technically our civil rights are being violated in this situation.
We wish you the best and hope your JC goes the way you want it to.

If you started an organisation (related to exposing the Watchtower, helping Jw's who are disfellowshipped, or any other worthy cause).. What would it be called and what would you aim to achieve?

Dismissing Servant: Interesting thing about that song. It sounds like he was describing what the new system would be like. If you believe in a future here on earth like some of us do.
We brought that up to an elder in our cong. and he looked at us like we were nuts and said "He doesn't like that song because John says "And no religion too..."
But if you think about it. Religion has been the biggest thorn in this world's side and in the new earth there won't be any religion. Because religion separates people as much as nations do, so there will ONE WAY, God's way!
So John was correct!

Good topic Terry and good points ADCMS. A good example of this, yesterday I was on a JW's forum looking at a comment that was had been posted on another thread and there was a post about the rumors flying around about the new July WT getting ready to come out and several of the JW's actually said 'Well if its secret until the WT comes out then maybe we shouldn't even be talking about it"! WTF! Unbelievable how mind- frelled they are. One person said that curiosity got the better of them and they went to an apostate website and the others on the forum were critisizing this person for taking a peek and being on the apostate website that they should wait for the 'proper time'??????
Unbelieveable!
