heard about it today just not sure if i should go

The first time they had one of these meetings (3 years ago) I couldn't believe the people lining up to put money in the contribution box. It must be a viable business model or they wouldn't be doing it.

How, exactly, does Watchtower's literature publishing bring them money?

by Island Man in

i've heard is said many times that watchtower is a publishing company bringing in money from the proliferation of its literature.

how exactly does this process work?

i know that jws are encouraged to tell the householders of the donation arrangement to support the worldwide work.

hoser

It doesn't make them money. That is why they are pushing digital. Their problem is that it took them 25 years to figure it out.

As far as I know this levy is on an annual basis. I assume they get a fleet discount and they usually sell these back to individual publishers. As new vehicles maintenance costs are low and each congregation pays the fuel costs at the end of the co visit

6 branches subsidize the rest of the branches.

i went to the meeting this morning and we had some guy from overseas bethel give the public talk.

6 countries subsidize the rest.

he said in some countries all the donations that they get from contributions don't even pay the electricity bill for the branch buildings so money has to come in from these 6 richer countries.

This goes along with splanes visit to Sri Lanka Sorry I don't know how to link with a mobile device.

Why are so many Elders and Elders deleted so angry at the Flock?

by JWCartPusher in

has anyone else experienced the wrath of elders and ex-elders on innocent rank-and-file dubs?

what are these power hungry men and their wives so mad about?

where is the love we were promised when those witnesses spent hours indoctrinating us about the spiritual paradise of witnesses we would be joining?

hoser

Some elders and/or their wives are bonified control freaks. They want to dictate every small detail of your life and if you deviate even in the slightest they go ballistic.

Its happened to me and to my family with devastating results.
