  OMG the Watchtower IS toast!

  the waters are drying up!

  a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.

  that's less than $2 a publisher!

  Negative growth will happen, probably within a decade. But that doesn't matter anymore. All that they want is a dedicated, hard core base that will give both time and money.

  Money is the new push. After that, will be their time, not so much in FS, but in builing new Kingdom Halls and assembly buildings. Expect them to give field service credit for everyone spending time on the RBC. Time will jump over 2 billion quickly as publishers jump all over the opportunity to spend time with the RBC instead of knocking on empty doors.

  Its a one time grab, plus more.

  Really, how much have JWs donated in the last two decades? A hall of 100 gives $500 to the WW work? That ain't shit.

  The WT needed to institute a tithe without calling it a tithe. If they came out in the next Kool Aid WT and said you must donate 10% of your income, it would wake people up and they would flee in droves.

  So they institute this, with plenty of cover because many halls are already paying loans. These halls are happy as clams, saying its a blessing from Jehoopla because their loan is gone! Of course because they are under mind control, they do not calculate that their loan payment has been extended until Armageddon, under the guise of a donation.

  And everyone else who doesn't have a loan passes a resolution to chip off a few hundred a month, with some promise of a free KH or remodel in the future.

  Where things get interesting is in the next five or ten years. Will these halls really get a remodel, or will mother just sell the property out from under them, pocket the cash, and tell them to drive an extra 5 to 25 miles to another hall?

  C'mon Kneehigh, how much were they donating before to the KH fund? $50? $100?

  So they just doubled, or more what they are taking in. While $200 isn't much, its probably more than the KH was doing before. BTW, I managed to extract the amount my wife's KH will be donating....$875 a MONTH! This from a just above middle class neighborhood in middle America....

  Now I haven't been to a Serve-us meeting in almost six years, but they were lucky to get $200 a month back then, and usually is was more like $100.

  The cult isn't dead, just morphing from a publishing company to a real estate investment trust with zero taxation.

  Now this is just plain weird.

  So to "assist others to reach out" they cut the knees of the old dude who has been serving?

  I wonder if they have been having problems with crazy old men (dementia, alzheimers?) causing problems for the BOE?

  Or maybe the children of some of these old guys are complaining that the WTS is running them ragged in their old age?

  Its probably not the best idea to post it as an image here, the WTS gets their panties in a bunch when their letters are posted...

  You can load it up to sendspace for people to download the original, or copy/paste the text into a post.

  I guess John would have been disqualified from writing Revelation based on these new discriminatory rules that the WT is now embracing!
