during the wt session, the org admits that the actions of eldubs can cause an eventual shortage of "qualified " brothers, and it has.
they speak of a lack of teaching as the cause.
in reality, it's the legalism and control issues within the org itself that have caused a shortage of men who are willing to reach out.
How you describe Johnny is verbatim to me while I was in...
I had months of 20 hours, but with a busy work schedule and kids, also had months of 7-8 hours. Finally, when I managed to do 6 straight months of 10 hours or more, they commented that I with my job travel during the week, that I sometimes skipped weekday meetings, so was not recommendable.
Meanwhile two elders sons, who most likely forged their FS reports were appointed "elders" while still wet behind the ears.
So glad I'm out.

i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.
(2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.
we have not wavered from that policy.
