Here in the UK when the congregation's assets pass 3 months expenditure we have to send the surplus to the WT Society.
This new cash grab of £5.40/pub/month cannot be funded from what we receive each month. The only purpose of it is to guilt people into thinking "i must put in my £5.40 each month".
As a congregation we barely cover expenses in a normal month.

You need to have an invitation.

hi i want to tell my story and get advice.
i'm a single sister ( in usa) that has been baptized for 20 years.
i came from the world, so did not grow up in the truth and i have no family in the truth -- i am alone.. last year i met a brother & we did have premarital sex while we were dating.
Why go back for more of the same? You're free, take advantage of that fact and plan your future without a bunch of half-wits deciding what you should think and do.

For the new donation arrangement, here in the UK it is £5.40/pub/month.
So for 139,000 publishers that's over £9 million/year. Extrapolate that world wide.

in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.
🤣.

They are still banging on about HE in the August broadcast. Usual scene, lovely looking young female witness being encouraged to go to Uni by a teacher. She is of course the best student in the school, easily get a scholarship ...... Sorry, I don't want to spoil this for anyone planning to watch it!
The other teen is a guy who is fancied by the best looking girl.... well you know the score. He has to break it off.
Why was it that when I was at school the best lookers never fancied me? Possibly because I was a bit of a 50/60's yob.

Built to house the Bethel family through Armageddon. Rutherford would be ensconced in his bunker at Beth Shan.

FRIENDS?
Here in the UK others in the congregation are usually called "brothers" or "brothers and sisters". However we hear the term "friends" used quite a lot these days, usually on US WT media. Thursday's video about a CO couple is typical, "The FRIENDS were there to meet us". It sounds so false.

the only spirit-directed organization on earth never ceases to amaze me.. https://www.youtube.com/live/0u2ohrbdm-c?feature=share.
A video that lasts 1:56:03 and it's only Part 1? I'm sure I can spend whatever time I have left in more worthwhile pursuits.

so he spoke with GB member Albert Schroeder about it.
Did not Schroeder's son, Ben Judah, go to university?
