  The last few years I attended meetings, whenever a vote involving money was coming up, by some "coincidence" I always went out to the restroom. I think I managed to miss all the votes! (I was too much a coward to abstain.)

  So after the road project is completed, the kingdom hall will have limited funds to purchase new shrubs and other landscaping items to replace the items that will be taken as part of the project. Good luck begging HQ for some of that money back. They should have held on to the entire sum at least until the project is completed.

  Oh ye of little faith. Fret not! We will soon be in the new system. Trust in Jehovah. Do not run ahead of His earthly organization. Next.

  I recall in the 70's there was one brother that would put up with a bit of resistance to these "democratic" votes to sending money to the mother organization. Looking back he had a valid argument, that the congregation should hang on to some of the money as a rainy day fund. I recall one elder making some comment that he was not a very good brother, how he didn't have faith and should be relying on Jehober. I am sure glad I am out of that cult.

  Pretty soon the Borg will be after them for the other $5,000.

  You know it will only be a matter of time they will be guilted into sending them the rest.

  Why even have resolution's? You know by the way the Elder reads out the
  resolution as to which way you are expected to vote. Then they do the count, all those that raised there hands for "yes", all those that raised there hands for "no". Almost every time it will be 100% vs 0% result. You don't want to be seen going against the resolution trend and thus being judged by all those that saw you raise your hand against the congregation trend. Could he be one of those counterfeit brothers in the congregation that we have been warned about...?

  The brother reading the resolution didn't even bother to ask if anyone opposed. It wouldn't have mattered anyway since everyone raised their hands in favor.

  I wonder how many ice cream cones the washtowel will let the children in that congregation have now that they have the money. After all, the children did not vote in favor of throwing away this money--yet they will still be out their ice cream cone money as well as this.
