Wonder if any of these are affected?
They Offered Themselves Willingly—In Mexico
The Watchtower (Study Edition) April 2013Upon completing high school, Essly was offered a university scholarship. Peers encouraged her to accept it and to pursue a “normal life”—get a degree, a career, a car, and take time to travel. Yet, she did not follow their advice. … I wanted to use my youth to serve Jehovah to the full.”

JW responds in comments:
I bet they would not have felt this way if it was anonymus with money inside instead of the material that was attached.

WT Failure To Engage In Charitable Works
by Joe Grundy ini never was a jw.. wtbts and its hydra-headed organisations world wide has charitable status.
yet, as far as i can see, it carries out little or no real charitable works.. last weekend my son and his friends did a 420 km cycle ride and mountain walk in aid of a local hospice at home charity.
they've raised (so far) 5,000. this charity makes a real difference.. this a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijr7ipvrek&feature=youtu.be.

Joe Grundy, that was beautiful. Your son and his friends rock!
And what a great example to set for the kids. They look genuinely HAPPY to be on the support team.
Meanwhile… Saturday morning here in the states… JW children will be dragged door-to-door in business attire, handing out free tickets to the Titanic as the Garbaging Body (LOL!) rearranges the deck chairs. -

Delaware Attorney General: Sussex Co. Jehovah's Witnesses congregation didn't report child abuse
By Associated Press 1:47pm, August 5, 2015
The Delaware attorney general's office is suing a Jehovah's Witnesses congregation in Sussex County, claiming that elders failed to report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.
Oral arguments in the civil action are set for November.
Authorities say elders learned in January 2013 that Katheryn Harris Carmean White was having sex with the boy and failed to immediately call a child abuse hotline.
The congregation's attorney argues that the elders are protected by clergy privilege from the reporting requirements, similar to the confidentiality of a church confessional.
Carmean White, who worked as a teacher's aide at Seaford Middle School, was later convicted of rape and child endangerment and sentenced to six years in prison.

Town Supervisor Bob LaColla said the Witnesses have a vision for the old industrial land. "They called to say they're still planning on coming in with a plan for the old Circle M site." That's the long-gone company that operated a wood-treatment plant there.

No comment was forthcoming from the Witnesses headquarters. The group's property dealings are under the name of Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, Inc. LaColla said the group's representatives have spoken of building an assembly hall, a video production studio and three office buildings there.
Calculations based on the deed indicate a likely sale price of $6 million.They say that lightning doesn't strike twice, but...
