  stoops manufacturing, the wt approved distribrution company for "all things jw" for many years, has been dissolved because of a "failure to file an administration report" with the state of missouri.. https://bsd.sos.mo.gov/businessentity/businessentitydetail.aspx?page=besearch&id=404520.

  you can download the full document from that link.. .

  I took a look at their website. The "About Us" link may provide some clues.

  It sounds like they started in the 1950s. My guess they are pretty old at this point. Notice this comment:

  "We lived modestly and I was able to serve in the full-time unpaid volunteer ministry (known as Pioneer Ministry) for 30 years until health and nerve problems prevented continuing."

  I wish the couple well. I have purchased from them over the years.Like most old-timers, my guess is that did not plan on being in this old system at this point in their lives.

  This is a wonderful example of micromanagement. Don't they have better things to worry about?

  Elder School Video

  2. friends

  hope you guys can help me find something.

  there was a video circulating about three years ago showing a sample judicial meeting, which basically ended up with the other elders slamming the one guy who was trying to be somewhat merciful.

  of course the person was df'd.. my husband said at the meeting they actually had a talk saying that now the elders look for any reason not to df, etc.,etc.. i am trying to find that video.

  I hope that manipulative worldly woman has a good lawyer. Perhaps the elders will be willing to participate in paying the child support.

  CO's never say thank you for the green handshakes

  2. friends

  ever noticed how co's and ex-do's never say thank you for the hard earned money they get from the friends?

  they truly believe they are entitled to live an easy life at the expense of others.

  this makes my blood boil!

  Interesting update. The cracks in the dam are beginning to show. These tactics of the Watchtower are only delaying the inevitable. At some point the flood gates will open.

  Why the Governing Body caught a frightful fright

  by Saintbertholdt in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it has been extensively reported on the forum that there has been a marked increase in effort over the past two years by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses to encourage an increase in monetary donations.

  this has also been accompanied by the stripping of financial capital from the local congregations.

  as has also been reported on this forum, this has in all probability been done to facilitate the financing of the vast new hq building project as well as the financing of the shift from a publishing company to becoming an internet based charismatic multimedia company which produces lame pixar/disney animation knock offs while simultaneously parading the governing body's ever expanding waistlines, blingy accoutrements and stupid grins.. meanwhile the financials of the organization remains as murky as ever.

  I was an account servant and filled the form out. I don't recall it being that big of a deal.
