    Hi itsyou

    I wasn't here in 2004, and the titles to the more recent threads didn't exactly hint about the site straight away, so I was genuinely in the dark.

    I'm sorry if you're annoyed by my 4th thread. I wasn't aware it had been discussed.

    By the way, welcome to JWN! I would explain how the forum works, but it look like you know your way around pretty well...

    God needs money, lots of it! - George Carlin

    Apparently the all-knowing, all-powerful, genius creator of the Universe is bad at managing money. And so he needs your donations.

    I did not know this website existed, so thank you Cedars. Is there a U.S site for donations? I certainly have not heard of one, but then again I don't go to the official site or read the tractazines anymore....

    Not that I know of.

    Part of my astonishment at finding this site is the fact that the Society gives the impression they only now have one site - JW.org.

    In actual fact, they still have several (not including the circuit car sales site)...

    The following is a copy+paste from my links page...

    • Jehovas Zeugen in Deutschland The official pages of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Germany.
    • Jehovas Zeugen in Österreich The official pages of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Austria.
    • JW Russia The official pages of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia
    • JW.org The official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses where you can download literature, watch promotional videos, or read the latest JW news with a pro-Watchtower spin.
    • JWgift.org A Watchtower-sponsored UK website designed to collect donations. Even though it argues that it should “not be seen as the soliciting of funds in any way” it features a not-so-subtle “Make a Donation” button on the home page.
    • JWmedia.org Though JWmedia.org has been officially decommissioned in favor of JW.org, some of the pages and articles are still online.
    • Watchtower Online Library Searchable archive of Watchtower literature published from 2000 onwards.

    It accepts donations between GBP5 and......drumroll.....GBP 100,000!!

    Wow, I was just about to whip out my Black American Express to make a modest GBP 150,000 donation and such a shame I can't do it at once...

    Are these people completely out of their minds?! Who has the gal to even suggest a GBP 100,000 donation....
