What is the GB Giving Back?

In harmony with Acts 6:1-7, what is the GB giving back to the R&F? The post about the COs being retired and recent WT articles about caring for older ones made me think. The GB is doing everything to cut costs while at the same time asking for more sacrifices. People will need to spend several hundred dollars to attend conventions.

Why doesn't the GB have plans to share food or other items as discussed at Acts 6?

Or James 2:15,16- If a brother or a sister is lacking clothing and enough food for the day, 16 yet one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you do not give them what they need for their body, of what benefit is it?

Why is it a hardship for the GB to support the COs in a JW retirement home? They have no savings. Why burden the congregations and then expect them to give more donations?

I was thinking about this too, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, not the other way around.

But I was also wondering if the disciples were known for doing anything similar after Jesus was gone. I’m pretty sure they weren’t leaching off the the local congregations either way.

Can you imagine, could any JW imagine, Anthony Morris III, or Garrett Loesch, getting down on their knees and washing the feet of Sister PoorPioneer? Hahahahahahaha........... Ha. Not happening, and NEVER will happen either. Those parasitic leeches don't know what "humility" and "service" are.

Honesty

The Governing Body gives back guilt trips, demands absolute obedience to them disguised as loyalty to Geehova and spritual death to any JW who sees through their scam.

Giving only applies to the R and F. "Do as we say not as we do!" "Listen! Obey! or be SHUNNED!"

Just saying

They kind of remind me of schoolmaster Squeers from Nicholas Nickleby.

I saw the 2002 movie just in case he happens to be nice in one of the other versions.

The same goes for the donations- GB expect money on both District/ Circuit and local thru the pages of the annual "give money" WT studies.

They need to encourage usage of some of the funds for the local friends who can use a little help of their own to increase and support the local ministry.

What about the local Pioneers or the friends with the vans that has to drive all the time in the territory putting wear and tear on their vechicles every week- you don't see the GB kicking in something to help out. Instead of circuits and local congregtions giving the "surplus" to the GB give it to the local friends to help out with gas, lunch for the pioneer meetings, pioneers that don't work car repairs or even some support for those caring for elderly.

Give orders to help the local congregations ministry of service- dammit!
