    Thanks, Gary!!

    Why does God need so much money?

    I reckon that if Dr Who doesn't need money then God certainly doesn't need any!

    Howdy Gary-

    Soon this beast organization will recommend payroll deduction donations. "It will come right out of your check, and will be credited to the WTS earlier. What a loving arrangement YOUR brothers have put in place." Maybe after that, they will cut a deal with welfare offices to credit the WTS right out of the government's money. I say, "starve the beast, so it dies!"

    If I recall correctly, charles russel said that the WT should only receive finance through the selling of the watertower mag, and if sales should drop then thats God's way of saying "thats enough".

    They forgot to mention the help they need with legal matters since there are so many perverted elders. Surely, some money gets earmarked for that.

    It kinda makes me wonder who owns Protx. Pass through fees might make a third party vendor ownership a fine business. I've been predicting that literature sales would return by use of a third party vendor system much like the Society has set up for this soliciting of funds panhandle web site.

    If taxation of funds is an issue on the sales of manufactured items, a third party vendor system like Amazon would put all the responsibility for collecting taxes from the buyer on the "out of system" vendor. That'd be a nice firewall while guaranteeing set prices for sales of items delivered.

    The Society could also use a fourth party vendor to ship items ordered and paid for at the third party vendor site. Then all the Society would have to do is write religious fiction, print books, and collect money . . . three things they are good at.

    The friends have already been doing this for years - although at the congregation level. I was the accounts servant about ten years ago, and we had one brother who was paying donations straight into the congregation's checking account through automatic payroll deductions. He has stipulated a certain amount to be allocated to the congregation fund, and the rest to go to the World Wide Work. With this new debit card arrangement that garybuss wrote about, I bet this kind of arrangement will be soon implemented at the headquarter / branch level.
