    WireRider:- " Why do people just give their money to the Watchtower?"

    The REBEL:- I will first provide a positive responce to the question. In the Uk:-

    A) Giving in general is declining in congregations.

    B) The average annual amount of money per publisher is declining.

    C) I would also assume that with the decrease in distribution and size of the magazines, the money received from the door to door activity is decreasing.

    Now the negative responce:-

    What angers me is all the property the society inherits rather than family homes being a family inheritance.

    For the same reason human beings have always surrendered their well being to religion.

    Life takes a lot of critical thinking to cope with effectively. That's too much work for some, much less coping with death, loss, poverty, pain, depression, ill health, etc.

    The religions promise escape from all that - all you have to do is sacrifice THIS life.

    A born again friend told me "this is just practice for the real life in heaven with the father." She also said the Bush administrations were good honest men because they were Christian.

    They really do give their minds up to be controlled. The JWs throw their families under the bus by shunning, and helping cover up child abuse for the selfish desire to cheat death.

    For the same reason they fork over the money - to buy their way to "paradise"

    I just don't know how they can really believe the bullshit.

    Oh, and your use of the word 'just' in the topic title betrays the level of your ignorance - again.

    1) fear of being seen as a goat, not helping the "brothers of the reigning king" , 2) punishing the kids that gave them all that trouble Our's is not to reason why, - just to serve, donate and die.

    WIRERIDER - A more appropriate question would have been, "Why do people give their money to religions?"

    J.W.'s are not the only people being fleeced by their religious leaders. Take a look at the L.D.S. and Scientology.
