Mrs. Agarano said that while Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Independence Day, most volunteers had the day off from work. Yet they showed no hesitance toward sacrificing the holiday, said volunteer Lisa Knust, a member of the Central Congregation.
was rather revealing.
Actually, building a new KH was better than witnessing or attending meetings, assemblies etc.
In addition to being more efficient, the practice allows Jehovah's Witnesses to sacrifice as little time as possible from their religious duties
Notice the use of 'sacrifice time' again.
I remember being taught that witnessing was our 'sacrifice' or has that idea been changed?
Where is the money coming from?
Funds for the project came from local contributors and a low interest loan from world headquarters
No mention of the fact that the world headquarters gets their money from either donations or interest-free loans from the people who build and use the halls.
Who wouldn't rather spend a day building a KH, instead of the door to door work? Their not so dumb.
Not to mention the fine 'pot luck' lunches the sister's serve up.
One thing we know for sure...The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society does not lose a dime on any of this activity. It is the local brother's and sister's who carry the responsibility for paying the money back. Just like any other mortgage holder, let them get in arrears and see how fast a form 'collection letter' appears. Get to far behind and the society, shuts them down....property sold!
Lots of big business going on, huge wealth in real estate holdings around the globe. They may need to dip into some of it, if all these pedophile, blood issues come to a head. We will see.
Thanks for the link. The usula presentation for those on the " outside world"!
