    The WTBT$ already have a begging article every year...usually in October/November...havent seen it this year...because I no longer give a rats a$$ what they do...I havent given money to them in YEARS.....even as a good little elder dubbie.

    Then, they have a Service Meeting part to go over the above said article..donations invariably go up for awhile, then taper off.... I can see them having two articles a year...one the outright donation article (how some contribute to Kingdom interests....) and another somehow incorporated as someone else previously mentioned....

    why do you think the accounts servant now not only reads the accounts report, and the donation acknowledgment letter from the Borg, but also the little "news" snippet of where the money is supposedly going...to keep those dollars/euros/yen/rupees flowing into the Watchtower Worldwide Pedophile Fund....

    You know how much ive donated in the past 30+ years of being a witness? 5 bucks. That's it.

    No joke.

    Good for you! I hardly donated either. When gas shoots up like crazy (think $4-$5 per gallon), you are going to see less FS...more pioneers not making their hours. If this Cult Edition WT has any effect, they're going to be poorer than ever! Think of all the stories inside of people quitting their jobs to pioneer! That's insane.

    Yes, it is stupidly expensive living in the UK, which is why so many of us moved to Australia!

    Having said that, it isn't so cheap living here any more :(

    Good point Sirona. I am seriously fed up of people bleating on about how expensive fuel is in the US.

    At 4 litres to a US gallon, thats $8.40 per gallon in the UK. So please dont tell me your fuel is expensive.

    Yeah Katie,

    Add to that MOT's and Road Tax.....

    When I went to Canada they didn't have MOT's.

    For everyone reading in US or Canada or Australia, do you have to have your car tested every year and pay for even minor repairs in order to get a certificate to prove its roadworthy?

    I also pay £110 per annum road tax, it would be more but I have a tiny car.

    Then we also have television licenses. They make us pay a license to watch "free" TV. Most people now subscribe to SKY but to OWN A TV you have to pay a fee. If they find you with a TV and no license, you get fined £1000.

    One thing I can't complain about is NHS. They've been excellent with me.
