Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  And, as has been noted, the expected "donations" will start small, but escalate exponentially. Just like Assembly Halls, the expected donations will become absurd and burdensome. How will JWs be convinced to go along with it? Fortunately for WT, there are a lot of "Emeth" types in the Org...

  They will most likely expect more from elders and ministerial servants

  Man. I HOPE the extended measures actually happen, people can gloss over lies and reason away misinformation, but they'll soon notice their wallets getting thinner. SUSPICIOUS - I was going to put a big fat zero on mine but your idea is brilliant, over inflate the figures, put a nice high amount, let's all mess with them!

  NewYork said, " That seems a bit odd. I cannot imagine individuals allowing an elder to review their tax return. Nor would I expect an elder to know what to look for."

  The Eldub ineptitude, I get. Jws allowing intrusive behavior is par for the course. They would allow it, make no mistake about that. It dove-tails with Metatron's comment:

  Metatron said, " Keep in mind that there are actual limits on what even Witlesses will put up with."

  I must disagree. My own wife said that she will NEVER disobey the Slave, even if it meant letting our only child die. What's a tax return check by comparison?? In my heart I wish that there was a limit with the dub's obedience, but what makes anyone think there is? If you have a limit, you leave the Organization. The 100 year reign fever is in full swing, these guys will drink kool-aid for the GB.

  I hope the financial thing happens. That's when I say F YOU to the WTBTS, out loud. My wife can work and give them all of her check if she wants, but she is not touching mine, and neither is the WTBTS.

  Quick noob question. I understand BOE letters but what does that abbreviation actually stand for?

  for me nothing will change.... every month i make contributions to 4 different funds

  the Kingdom Hall Construction Worldwide

  the Local Congregation

  the Worldwide Work

  the new assembly hall (for 3400 people) and educational facilities that we are building here the coming years

  So soon 2 contribution boxes will be taken away and two of them will remain.

  But i will donate the same amount of money and will combine what i contributed to the new assembly hall and the Kingdom Hall construction fund and put it in the local congregation box

  same amount of contributions but just another box...

  A fine testimony, Emeth. And, you've just proven many hypotheses correct. You've settled once and for all the extent of the JW "stupider" factor.

  Incidentally, as a loyal JW and worshipper of the GB, how do you justify being on an apostate website??

  Body Of Elders.

  [edit] you got there right before me, cofty.
