"We have more money going out than we have coming in."

I would like to quote a scripture, Luke 14:28. For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it?

Hey GB...practice what you preach!!!!

Wing Commander...Amen! I agree, once the monies start to dry up they WILL set up tithing. It's funny, years ago (probably over 30 yrs) I told my husband if they ever started begging for money I was outta here. Wow...how ironic, they are steadily begging for money and I'm "outta here!"

Pretty much the entire broadcast is asking for money (giving of your valuable things) and giving volunteer time. It's funny...when we needed assistance (not money, just simple love and encouragement would have been nice) during a difficult time, all we got was "trust in Jehovah." Seems like the tables have turned. Why don't they "trust in Jehovah?" After all they are his earthly representatives. Shouldn't he help them out? Things that make you go...Hmmm!

I love the hooky song at the end, reminds me of the Mormons.

All take and no give in this cult. How are they different that Christendom? Always begging for your money.

Hey everyone (even you lurkers).....Vote with your wallets!!!

Ole Rubber face is creepy.

We should be happified. If they were getting enough donations and getting enough volunteers they would not have to do that broadcast.

A lot of people are scratching their heads and it's showing in their lack of donations and volunteering.

I guess Old Anthony the third should not have insulted the rank and file at the zone meeting. I think it pissed a lot of people off. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!

"Jehovah does not always use the best, he uses those that are available, thus a very imperfect org."

Think about that statement....so we are supposed to put our confidence in men who are only available? Whoa. I have been hearing all my life that these are imperfect men. Well, yes they are imperfect but according to what we have been told they are chosen by holy spirit. I don't buy it anymore (not sure I ever did). I would NEVER trust ANY of these "men" with any intimate details of my personal life. I will take my chances on figuring things out myself without giving these henchmen any rope to hang me with.

I agree with the above comments. Why do you want to go back? With all due respect, I don't see the attraction.

They thrive off of status. Have you ever seen two Mothers discussing their 20ish yr. old sons. "Oh, mines at Bethel." Oh mines a need Greater." It's too funny. I feel like saying, "mine has a well paying job with benefits, top that you freeloaders."
