I am skipping the details on how we got to this point. Conversation was calmed and pleasant and while I know she is not the most educated person (she can hardly read), Its hard to justify it by saying is a matter of ignorance. It is definitely something inside her that triggers on that very moment.
Me: I don't know where all the money is going. We use to pay $2500 for a 3 day assembly. We know pay $12,000 for a single day, meeting in a place of our own.
Her: Yeah, its weird, people don't donate as much anymore
Me: Yes, I know that is probably true. What I am really questioning is not how much people give, but rather how is it possible that is costs so much
Her: It seems like people reason that because the place is ours, we don't have to contribute.
Me: But if they built the place on free labor, and with donated funds, how is it that it costs 3 times as much as before, when we rented places we did not own.
Her: And the funny thing is that we all like to go out and buy new dresses for each assembly, instead of putting the money where it really matters.
Me: No, but that is not what I meant. Remember, we use to rent the school stadium. We have gone as far as renting the astrodome in Houston and it never costed that much. If they can rent the place for that amount, how is it that it costs us more to rent our own place that we built with donated funds
Her: May be is because is a whole 3 days.
Me: No, that is how much is costing for a single day assembly. Is way more than what a 3 day use to cost.
Her: All I know is that I make my contribution. Jehovah knows if the others are contributing or not...
Then I realized I was late for work....
The end.
