Brainfloss, RE: maximum ATM contribution.
These type of transactions are typically limited to $500 per transaction depending on your financial nstitution. They work just like any other debit card transaction.

When I last went, they did not have those things at a$$emblies. But now, not having the cash on hand is not an excuse--just run up your credit card to the max or empty your savings account of money you were going to use for rent, electric, or whatever into the Worldwide Damnation Fund. Just more pressure to donate money you don't have or that you need for other things.

@ emeth: the stories that blondie came up with are not relevant. Some of them are 30 - 40 years old.
The Bible is much older than that. Just sayin'

emeth - You are still pushing this line 'So we are taught only to give what we can give and of what we have, and not to give if we dont have it or cant give because of other priorities.' As I said before - you are kidding yourself. As others have pointed out the WBTS has no qualms about guilting people into making donations, often sizable donations. They are no different from other religious organisations - the fact they don't pass around a plate is window dressing. An ATM to pay by credit or debit card is an electronic plate.

@ Frazzled: "they don't pass around a plate is window dressing"

So true....
How about $10,000 a day to "rent" a mortgage-free WT Assembly Hall PLUS the elder's lunch-time meeting gift of another $5,000 to WT, then announcing the non-negotiable charges to be paid by all JWs in attendance? There is no option for JWs to not pay it. This is in addition to whatever JWs contribute at the ATM.
.
With a system like that, how does emeth's comment, "So we are taught only to give what we can give" , have any basis in reality???

Sparlock, deafsterbation videos, and Anthony Morris III's tight-pants-panic... ATMs/debit machines are just one more weird-ass idea to add to a already long, sad list of weird-ass ideas.
They do seem to imply a certain level of quiet desperation, though; I must say.

Absolutely priceless!!!

Whatever happened to the widow's mite? Read your lovely new Bible, she gave two small coins - Mark 12: 41 - 44, Luke21:1-4. How can you compare putting a few coins in a contribution box with paying with a card at an ATM or at a credit card desk which they have in some European countries? The people who have said we don't use cash much in Europe any more, nonsense. I use coins all the time. Unbelievable, this religion is taking you for a ride and you can't see it.

Its just a system of voluntary donations. If someone would like to give its possible.
If another one dont want to give,.. no one will notice or know.. except the person itself and Jehovah.....Emeth
