"There are 4 ex COs that live very close to meThree of them have been provided living arragements, and a car by the local brothers. They are elderly (80s and 90s) but are doing fine, not starving."
Exactly!
You will notice that it's up to individual brothers to provide, not the Watchtower Society!
Are they not the ones making this grand worldwide brotherhood available?
They publish the videos (propaganda) showing how donations are making this great work possible?
These CO's and DO's should realize the investments, and $$$$$ the WT has...... None will go to them!
