The corporation I work for must be registered in every state in which we do business. Stoops cannot legally continue to operate without a current Missouri registration, but it doesn't appear from the list of filings that they've even attempted to bring their registration current. Zero activity on that front. Might be worthwhile (?) to call the Missouri Secretary of State's office to let them know.

This is great news! So encouraging that you are able to share the reality of the huge problems with the WTS, we are all so grateful for the work of the RC and you are bringing them the real "truth". Stay strong and THANK YOU for everyone around the world who has been so grievously affected by the horrendous actions of the WTS. -

Yep, February is weird. And I'm still trying to understand W E D N E S D A Y. Who says WED-NESS day? Wikipedia says it comes from the old Germanic "Woden" but then why isn't it Wodensday? -

Remember that WT masturbation video? Who is the sign language person?
by FatFreek 2005 inbelow are a few screen captures from the video to serve as a reminder of what he looks like.
below those will be a few captures from a weather forecaster now at our kark tv (arkansas).
his name is matt peterson.

tim3l0rd is correct about this, ASL is not a word=sign translation and some signs require gestures that are very animated, and not just the sign for masturbation.
While the sign was repeated over and over and over in the spoof video, it was clearly not that way in the original ASL video. By ASL standards, the WTS videos are properly and respectfully done.
The most important point here is tim3l0rd's comment that the WTS article (and the resulting ASL video for the deaf community) should never have been published in the first place.

Old news. This was read out at our last service meeting. It's been PDF'd here for days.
And it's not even BOE only. It's to the congregation.
True. But it's still incredibly ridiculous that anyone believes this nonsense.

Soooo, when I tell you I feel it's a cult
by cognac inwhy would you proceed to invite me to their meetings?

I wonder, if when someone they know to be a "good" person decides to leave -- not because they've been offended/stumbled, or had an affair, or started smoking, or wanted to become a wealthy ceo -- what does that do to a still-in jdub's thinking process?
While most will call Satan's world as the culprit, or hidden sins (cause why else would you leave the borg), surely there is at least one person with some residual thinking ability who gets jarred into doing some research.
Because when a good, intelligent person leaves and they stay... surely there's not an easy way to restore balance to the neurons going crazy in their brain. They may not take instant action, but that nagging question might just be added to many more like it to make their exit a future reality.
edited to add as I just saw this: As Vidiot said more succinctly: Because they hope, deep down, to prove to you (and therefore, themselves) that it's not.

Missing Friends.
by Resi init's been a long time since i posted.
for a brief recap, i have an aunt who is one of jehovah's witnesses.
when i was really sick, i sought out their group because i remembered the support my aunt had and how they were like a second family to her.

Resi, thanks for this post. It's a fact that people get, as Slimboyfat said, "sucked into" the jdubs when they are at a low point in life, or feel they have a hole to fill. Your story shows this to be true, yet you had the resilience to back away when you realized they were not truly a loving group of people.
It's sad that you are disconnected from those you befriended. Truly it's their loss as you seem to be a really compassionate, well-rounded person. Unfortunately, the same conditional thinking that led to you being turned down for baptism is what led to you being cast aside as a friend. Those young women are locked inside a cage not of their own making.

I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family
by macys inas most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.
the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.
but i miss my family so much.

Sarah, we feel your pain. Being involved in the cult with a hundred faux-friends all the time and then finding yourself basically alone is a huge leap. Older adults who do it are lonely too, and miss their still-in family members like crazy.
I certainly understand your reasoning for wanting the shunning to stop. But as Cappytan says, what guarantee do you have that they won't shun you again if/when you become inactive? Please consider this carefully. Right now your emotions have a tight grip on your thinking, but remember that jdubs prey on your emotions so you may have a really tough time ever leaving again. What will that do to your head now that you know TTATT?
You mentioned in your OP that your family was really close before you became jdubs, but how were things once everyone was Culticized?
