That way it won't take long to accrue $28 million to pay off a few debts.

Can you raise your hand to ask a question?
"How much did we spend on electricity? water? heating? oh, and pedophile lawsuits?"

I'd like to ask a question, brother. When the congregation pays out the lawsuit they lost, will it close its doors or do we have to pay for the pedophile lawsuit?
What if we go through the same thing?

Excellent question!

One figure that won't be mentioned is how much money the WTS has on hold for the congregation in their own banks.
And also if a congregation shares a meeting the actual costs from the KH Operating Committee will not be read to the congregation.
So that if an Operating Committee has $20,000+ in the bank, that is in trust with the WTS's bank account so they can use it, invest it and what not, the sum will not be read in the report, but only the local Congregation expenditures and receipts for the month, that way it seems like they're just barely making it from month to month.
BTW... The bookstudy will now be adding 5 minutes and the Service Meeting will be deducted 5 minutes.
All announcements will happen during the first part scheduled for the Service Meeting.
It used to be that if I or my wife missed a meeting due to sickness or some dire circumstance the question to the one that did attend was "Anything new in the Announcements?" Well, I guess that says how much more non-eventful every mid-week meeting will become.

I'm shocked they ever stopped reading it. I bet contributions are down a lot, without it being announced.

Does any one have a copy of that announcement to post here?

More houndings for people to go deeper into debt in order to pay for the pedophile lawsuits. I personally hope people nick their donations, preferably to zero--if they don't even make enough for day to day expenses, they can't make enough to give the members of the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger their livelihood. Add a few pedophile lawsuits, and they are pretty much toast.
And may Father Satan punish them to the max, for ruining lives on purpose.
