..."when donations are earmarked specifically for a certain disasters, it is necessary in some countries to use such funds only for the purpose specified by the donor and within a certain period of time, whether the needs of out brothers have been cared for locally or not.

This paragraph speaks volumes! If the needs (Literature, meetings, etc.) have been met locally, then they use the money wherever they want. They don't like anyone CONTROLLING them!!! Get with the program everybody and start writing your checks out properly, to Mother, and she will do whatever she wants with YOUR money!

Anyone know if this is true-- if it is they're making $ with free labor ect.

Everything they do is with free labor.

Onesong:

If they rebuild a house for a witness, then they have them sign a document stating that they will turn over the insurance check to them. All of it! They (WTBS) may spend $50,000.00 to build a house worth $100,000.00 and they would take the check for the insurance payment of $100,000.00. So instead of the family getting a break, they get the break. This money could be used for the family to buy new furniture, clothes, etc., but instead the WTBS gets it. Such a loving organization. (The labor is free, materials sometimes are donated, so it makes a person wonder if they pocket most of it.)

C'mon, SW. You don't really wonder, do you?

In other words, they are saying, "Look a$$hole, just shut up give us your f*cking money! How we spend it is none of your f*cking business!"

...Or something to that effect.

Yeah, they usually tone down the language, but that was pretty much the attitude that was conveyed to me when I asked an elder about donations going to the WWW some years ago. He made it clear that "we should consider it a privilege to honour Jehovah with our valuable things, and not question his organization about how it's used."

That's one reason why I didn't make donations to them.

They rob people of their self esteem, friends, family, faith, ability to reason etc so they might as well take their money too.
