We receive a letter from the Watchtower yesterday.
Thought it might be a card celebrating our disfellowshipping this time last year. Nope.
Maybe threats or denunciations. Nope.
THEY WANT TO GIVE US MONEY.
Hehe. Really. Here is the explanation.
Several years ago my wife received an inheritance. Like good dubbies we decided to give 10% to the Watchtower Society.
It was a "Conditional Donation" which meant if we needed the money in the future we could ask to have it returned. We thought we had requested all of it already but must have miscalculated. They now tell us that what is left in their records is less than $ 5000 and that does not fit the "conditional donation" requirements. So they want to confirm our address so they can return the rest of the money.
ALL RIGHT! So we are thinking of sending them a letter confirming the address and asking them to also change the beneficiary. MAKE THE CHECK OUT TO RAY FRANZ, at Commentarypress.

LOL @ jst2laws
I'm surprised that they are actually offering to return that money to you. Your money must have been demonized and caused some rumblings at Bethel.
LOL

Good one. Make photocopies, register the letter, have it witnessed by a lawyer, send a photocopy of the original wt letter, etc.

hehe,
Yeah, Valis. They cant refuse to return the money. They are concerned about compliance with IRS rules. I wonder if we can refuse to receive it unless they make check to who we specify?

I think you'd be doing Ray a bigger favor if you get the WTS to send the check to you, in your name. You can give Ray the whole sum if that's what you want to do, and then both you and Ray can send them a letter thanking them for the money once you've got it in your hot little hands. And then they won't be able to do a d@mn thing about it!!
