  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  "Brother Russell stated: “‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support."

  Watchtower's reply to this:

  Russell who?

  Oh, that guy. But you see, he wasn't the FDS, so what the hell do we care what he said?

  In summary:

  Now Jehovahs Witnesses believe in the Rapture. . . . but they don't call it the Rapture

  And they believe in tithing. . . . . but they don't call it tithing.

  As a side note, I told my wife about this letter and she is very impressed with my predictive "powers." Over a year ago I told her I thought they might implement some sort of tithing arrangement, and she thought that was impossible. Looking at it from a business perspective though (which no JW does) it only makes sense as your base shrinks in developed nations and is expanding in poor uneducated countries.

  One of the elders would be assigned the duty of sitting down with each family head and go over the family tax forms for the past year

  They try that and both my wife and I will tell them to go to fucking hell.

  They want to kick us out for refusing a tithing arangement, then so be it.

  That would define the end for me.

  I don't see this as impossible at all. It's an incredible story.

  "If it is not too rainy, I plan to see it this weekend."

  Chuckled when I read this. . . .

  And I second BOTR as far as seeing anything in IMAX or 3D. . . . instant migraine for me.
