  Found this article on Google news. The last sentence says:

  "No collections will be taken during this free event."

  Ahem, maybe some of us can elaborate about just how money-hungry the org really is, by posting a comment below the article. If more of us speak up, outside of this forum from time to time, then the better the chances of a curious non-JW to be informed. So many people out there just think it's some slightly odd, but harmless little 'denomination' of Christianity. If they only knew!

  Here's a link to the article:

  ...no collections, but we'll take your kids' icecream money, and your valuable things.

  Here's yet ANOTHER article, from a somewhat larger newspaper, ya might say. Note, it also claims that "no collections are made." That must be the standard script given to these news reporters, by the Watchtower's public relations department.

  PLEASE POST A COMMENT to this article!

  Oops...I noticed that this assembly has already passed. Still, it shows up under Google News as a recent story.

  I'll keep my eyes and ears out for other JW related news items about upcoming events. Remember the reporter who went from "JW Brochures aren't really that bad," to "JW Brochures are grossly misleading, and they are a chaotic cult?" Without our input, that 'correction' would never have happened. Just sayin.'
