LL, no you are not losing your marbles!!! I once owned a convenience store, which I very rarely visited, hired the work out to non-witness, and could NOT sell cigarettes!!! (That was about the time the info came out that a witness couldn't have anything to do with cigarettes) Do you know what that did to the business??? I had to take a loss and sell it just to get out from under the pressure. The community was very upset and no one could understand the reasoning that you can sell alcohol, but not cigarettes. From their point of view, the cigarettes were the lesser of the 2 evils.
Now, to Mr. Obo, that's such small pocket change compared to the WTBS...why should they have to not accept trusts that make them money? Because they MAKE THE RULES and it has cost a lot of JW's tons of money. I had to work for 2 years to get back even from that fiasco. What is it that you don't understand????????
Please don't insult the intelligence of this forum with your nonsense claiming that they may not even know about this trust's investments. You can rest assured they account for and are very well informed of every last dollar in the entire organization.
Swalker (still fuming over that issue)
