No need for any of that. It is all strictly done on an individual donation basis. No strings attached and no one is compelled (maybe guilted into giving something) but not compelled. The "slips" they sometimes pass are just used as a poll for any possible loans, gifts, or outright donations of money. But you can simply not give if that is what you want to do.

JW financial liabilities?
by prologos infor reasons that are unimportant here, municipalties and other souveraign entities go bankrupt, touching the financial siruations of those beholen to them as muniscipal taxpayers with properties than can be morgaged after a bancruptcy judgement.
you legal minds in different jurisdiction: can the fact that one is a cardcarrying jw in a congregation( actually they are holding all the cards) pun intendet] ever be construed to mean that you are liable for any financial liability of the congregation, its elders, the wtbs.inc?
in our affluent area very ambitious 100% approved by vote are under way, selling off one good kingdom hall to build better later, with funding yet to come.

Both Atlantis and this site (see below)have great resources for old publications. The site also has talks by the oodles if you want to listen to that stuff. One talk that you might want to check out was Fred Franz talk on Christmas wher he describes some poor guy who researched actual origins of the celebration and got run out of Bethel...then they adopted everything he said six months later. Then he was just labled as presumptious. Oh and no apologies and extra charge...for the scorn before he left.

I think I stumbled onto the eventual plan for the governing body teaching today.....
by EndofMysteries inon the jw.org site, look at the 2/1/2012 public wt, page 27 of the pdf...section 4"how are jehovah's witnesses organized today".
if anybody noticed, i mentioned i thought that no mention of 'faithful and discreet slave' possibly since 2010 in the public placed wt's.
i've read all of them backtracking to 2/1/2012 so far, and so far, my suspicion has proven true, no mention.

As you can see from this layout the WT has used the phrase repeatedly in 2010-2011. Hope this helps.
This may or may not show up??
