Just goes to show, the society is fast loosing sight of what its main objective was suppost to be, and thats preach to the nations. I never did contribute, not even once. I always felt money was being wasted on non-essentials, like new up-market cars for the travelling overseers. And on that note, i remember when the society wanted to give the overseers these cars, they devided up the purchase price by the number of congregations, and we all bought these cars. THEN, they want to upgrade 3 years later, so they make the offer that any brother can make an offer to purchase these cars back from the society. So the society gets these cars for nothing, plus we all paid extra for the servicing, and then they are able to sell them back to us. And no one says anything.
