Making Donations to the Worldwide Work of Jehovah's Witnesses
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20151115/donations-worldwide-work/
The WT do an article like this every November.
I guess they've assessed the best time of the year to remind the flock that they need money.
Insurance: A donation made by specifying an entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a retirement/pension plan.
Bank Accounts: Bank accounts, certificates of deposit, or individual retirement accounts set up as a trust or made payable on death to an entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses in accord with local bank requirements.
Stocks and Bonds: Stocks and bonds donated to an entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses as an outright gift or by means of a written agreement to transfer on death.
Wills and Trusts: Property or money may be bequeathed to an entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses by means of a legally executed will or by specifying the entity as the beneficiary of a trust agreement. This arrangement may provide certain tax advantages.
Ugh... The plan is perfect, isn't it? Alienate once loved family members who aren't JWs; shun ex-JW family members; stay faithful until you get old hoping for a new system that will never come; die and give the money to JW.org. Grandkids get a cut? Nope. Grown children struggling to make ends meet? Nah. Brother? Sister? No way, not if they aren't JWs.
That is so messed up.
Jehovah wants us to follow his example of being generous. He also provides sound reasons for us to be generous.
Well, if Jehovah(tm) is that generous, why hasn't he given the WBT$ more than they require without the need to scam money from the believers?
Bank Accounts: Bank accounts, certificates of deposit, or individual retirement accounts set up as a trust or made payable on death to Dr Monica Applewhite. . . .
Wills and Trusts: Property or money may be bequeathed to Dr Monica Applewhite by means of a legally executed will or by specifying the entity as the beneficiary of a trust agreement. This arrangement may provide certain tax advantages. . . .

For the USA, it is a reminder to get those tax-deductible contributions in before December 31.
"Zion’s Watch Tower has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.”
I guess they have determined "the end is near" since publishers are expected to "publish" their own mags on their computer & printer.
Hey! That's a prediction the WTS got right! The R&F WT Drones really are "PUBLISHERS" now!
