So it is all about the money, although the society will supply the equipment the publishers have to increase their donations to pay for it otherwise they can fund it themselves.
The society took the congregations money under the excuse that the resources would be pooled to help everyone, then they suggest that equipment is bought but it won't be funded with the existing money it has to be paid for with extra contributions. This means the congregation could be paying for this stuff forever when if they hadn't given their resources to the society they would have been able to pay for this outright. Some people must surely be asking where the money went. Repairs aren't funded, refurbs aren't funded, video equipment isn't funded so this pool of money is not being used for anything.
Exploitation described as appreciation.
