  Thanks wifi, pretty soon, we'll be able to walk into any elders meeting and tell them what's what with a smile. No, seriously though, these leaks are awesome because it just goes to show you how some really feel about the org for real.

  So we pay for the expenses of the visitor... is there a way to tell, with evidence, if this visitors are assigned by the WT or is the circuit seeking their visit? Basically, is the visitor or the organization deciding wether they need to send someone or is the circuit "ordering" a visitor when they decide they can afford one?

  I am asking because I was shocked when I learned the Lett was coming to our last assembly and I thought, are we that important down here? Turns out that now I ask the question, did we order him down here and payed to have him present? Kind of like you can pay an ex president to give a talk at your corporation.

  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!
  

  Yes, I too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses. I suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so. As for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?
  

  I suspect that the society levies an expected contribution, based on attendance.
  

  I used to be the assembly hall account overseer- and i will tell you exactly why you are ALWAYS IN THE RED-
  

  they use some wacky formula to come up with a PER PUB RATE it varies---
  

  when the accout overseer gets to the hall at about 6;30 7 AM on sat he meets with the assembly hall overseer who has a form ==
  

  DAMN I SHOULD HAVE KEPT COPIES OF ALL THAT SH!T- I JUST WANTED to get the He!! out of WT when i got ready to leave= ANYWAY
  

  It will show the number of pubs in the circuit "X" the rate let's say $11.25 per pub ( per capita )
  

  975 pub X $11.75 = $11,450-+
  

  and at this point before the assembly even starts
  

  YOU ARE IN THE RED BEFORE THE DOORS EVEN OPEN with a deficit of over $11,000

  Who goes about paying bills and has the throw-away expenditures (so-called worldwaidekingdom hall build donations, etc) paid for prior to their necessary ones (your electric and other utilities)? No family living on a real-life budget plans on their video game purchases and other fluff prior to taking care of their real bills.

  Also, take note that the donation made is past tense, but the surplus/deficit is present tense:

  2. Based on the funds available, a donation was made to the worldwide work in the amount of ______
  

  6. Therefore, at this point we have a surplus/deficit of (difference between lines 4 and 5) _______

  
  

  The donation was decided upon that same day, but they talk like the money has already been whisked away to watchtower.

  8. Resolutions: Other than the normal oper-
  ating expenditures outlined above, any deci-
  sions with regard to funds that the circuit has
  on hand in its account should be put in writ-
  ing as resolutions adopted by the elders of the
  circuit. These resolutions should be for exact
  amounts and should be presented for approval
  each time circuit funds are to be dispensed. It
  would be inappropriate to pass a resolution to do-
  nate an unspecified amount of leftover funds to
  the worldwide work, Kingdom Hall construction
  worldwide, or an Assembly Hall after the assem-
  bly expenses have been paid. It would likewise
  not be appropriate to make a standing resolution
  authorizing that a fixed amount be donated to
  the worldwide work, Kingdom Hall construction
  worldwide, or an Assembly Hall. Circuit funds
  should not be used to subsidize housing for spe-
  cial pioneers or to make donations to Regional
  Building Committees. Money gifts to individuals
  should not be made from circuit funds. Neither
  should expenses for personal vehicles, life insur-
  ance premiums, or personal travel be considered.
