At the Kingdom Halls and convention auditoriums of Jehovah's Witnesses, no collections are ever taken. Boxes are placed so that it is convenient for any who wish to contribute to do so.
Maybe they don't pass the plate, but they certainly do remind everyone of their obligation to contribute financially to the org. I remember at every circuit or one day assembly, we would be told that the receipts for the assembly was so much, and the cost was always at least £1000 more, so we were admonished to make up the shortfall, despite the fact that we owned the assembly hall, and the only real expenses were amenities like gas, electricity and water charges. And I used to fall for it, and put another few £££ in the box.
I have no idea how much I contributed over the years, but it was far too much, that's for sure. They won't get any more.
