They have a perfect setup. They read the "accounts report" every month from the stage at the local hall. This "transparency" tricks everyone into thinking that it isnt about money because the average hall has a few thousand in the account.
They don't read it at our KH anymore. Just post it on the board in the back of the KH, and the expenses are all in one LS, nothing itemized.
Plus, cost per pub for use of regional Assm Hall just took a hefty hike, even though it's over 25 years old and would have been paid off under any traditional arrangement resulting in lowering of costs. This should produce probably $3000-$4000 additional per weekend. Where does the money go?
NO transparency.
Still, I do not see where the GB abuses the wealth of the WT Corp. Surely, NOTHING resembling what tele-evangelists do or like Corp America does with Leer Jets, luxury cars, ostentatious homes, etc.
