    I remember showing this to my wife about 3 years ago...even before I had the dredded doubts about the WTS, and her and I just thought it incredibly tacky. She said "that's kinda Jerry Falwell of them to solicit $$ online"

    Quote from the site:

    This facility has been provided solely for the convenience of those who asked for this service and desire to support our work by these means. It should not be seen as the soliciting of funds in any way.

    WT needs lots of money to survive and to evolve as a printing corporation.

    The Watchtower Society paid an undisclosed amount (believed to be in the millions) in an out-of-court settlement with 16 unnamed victims of alleged sexual abuse within the religion. [50] According to court documents obtained by NBC News, one plaintiff was awarded over $780,000 USD. [51]

    But on the first day of trial Jehovah's Witnesses decided they didn't want a jury to decide this case and instead $1.55 million was paid to the plaintiff.
    The organization that claims it is waiting for the ever-eminent "end of the world" decided to settle in a pragmatic move to protect its long-term interests and more than $1 billion dollars of accumulated assets.
