jhine, why do you think we lost a large amount of witnesses after 1975, they either had to file bankruptcy and continue to follow the Cult or get a job and pay off all those nasty loans. I know people who sold their property and sent the money to the Watchtower, later it was learned they were putting money in to Government Bonds and Stocks too, how ironic?
How come the Watchtower was not spending every single penny in 1972-1974 trying to warn people? They had enough cash for all the Pioneers to stop working and help Aux Pioneers by covering their expenses. They could have paid for all the Elders in each Kingdom Hall to Pioneer but their lack of faith in Jehovah bringing about the End is shown by their investments in Stocks and Bonds, not investing in every capable Jehovah Witness to Pioneer, they were so greedy and still people are stupid to follow them straight to Hell!
