What is also interesting is that if you take an average of say 75 adult publishers in a cong. they may be donating as little as £1 - £2 a week. There are always going to be those that donate more and so a lot are probably not giving anything at all.

I found out what below threshold means
When income goes above a certain level then the accounts have to audited.

Bernadette - That's interesting. So is that why congregations regularly give money to the World Wide Work fund, to avoid having their accounts audited?

they are very lets take advantage of whatever loopholes there are for the benefit of jehovah's Org - They must have something going on - would be interesting to find it.
There was one instance where one of the Bethel vans knocked into a poor bethelites car - the car was a write off - the sad thing is bethel hadn't insured the van to cut corners.

Qcmbr - That is certainly an impressive accounts book, but one that is few and far between.
The majority are just breaking even, but a lot of them have lower incomes than a few years ago. There are a substantial amount that are running at a loss that makes you wonder how they manage and who makes up the short fall.

Wow Qcmbr! The WTBTS would be wildly envious of figures like that!!!
I think I'll compare the Jehovah's Witnesses with the Mormon accounts.

Qcmbr - What search did you put in for the Mormons, exactly. Thanks.
