The whole thing was terrible. Put joke-hova first in life. It glorifies stupid hardships of every type. People are lauded for making stupid decisions in their lives, including quitting jobs because they could not attend all the boasting sessions or go out in field circus as much as they wanted. You go, and they plant on the astral the thought that you are only worth anything if you are under unnecessary hardship. And this year it goes beyond money--fun, health, and even life itself are involved.
And yes, they are hitting hard on that people are not worthwhile to associate with unless they are pious-sneering or are at least assistant hounders. You skip a few boasting sessions, you can be assured that people will limit their association with you to hounding you to return to all the boasting sessions. You usually get 20 hours a month in field circus, and this month you only get 15 or 18--same deal. Unless there is a damn good reason why, you are probably going to be hounded. And all the more so if you skip a month or so altogether.
No, this is not an organization that is worth donating to. They want your souls damned in every level of existence, so you will get nothing but misery for this and every lifetime beyond. Those people will return in another life to sickness, persecution, financial hardship, excessive work loads without compensation, and unable to enjoy anything. Is this what you wish to donate for? And remember, everything you donate goes toward use of black magic to enslave the whole planet.
