from what i understand is, that the wtbts isn't funded by (any?
) government(s).. this would be very understandable, in order to get money from a government, they would probably need to open their books,.
what i would like know is: has the wtbts appealed for government money?

This would be very understandable, in order to get money from a government, they would probably need to open their books,
at least regarding their using of money.
What I would like know is: Has the WTBTS appealed for government money? This would too be very understanable as they
need any money they can get. If they have; I'd like to know when and to what country. Thanks in advance.
when literature used to be sold d2d, i remember how the society never missed an opportunity to trash other religions for "peddling god's word for profit" while boasting about how the watchtower only charges for the cost of the paper and ink.. in the book "witnesses of jehovah", the author mentioned that randall watters used to be involved in print cost analysis and determined that, while we were selling wt & awake mags for 20 cents door-to-door, it was really only costing the society 4 cents per copy to produce.
that's a whopping 400% profit!.
obviously, things have changed... the paper is different, as well as the ink and printing methods in general.
" Three months later, the elders received a letter from the Society. It basically stated that they [the Society] noticed an enormous increase in literature orders. That the congregation had made purchases of some $3,000.00 and our donations were only somehere around $500.00. They told us we [the congregation] owed the Society $2,300.00."
Dogpatch, do you have this letter? I would be very thankful for a scan.
does anyone remember the case where some congregation didn't get enough money to cover the costs of the magazines?.
wtbts sent a letter to the congregation asking for money.
does anyone remeber this case?

"I don't think they would cut anyone off. That would be very bad PR."
I've never implied that the WTBTS would have cut off of a cong. or anything else.
In this letter I'm looking, WTBTS pressed elders to gather the missing money, which they did and the case was closed.
I am only looking for evidence of the existance of such a letter, which I remember I have seen.

"As the whole thing was so they didn't have to pay tax, as they claim the publishers are nothing to do with them"
Idk about that, I'm just looking for a specific topic about a congregation that came up short in paying their magazines
(I'm not sure how recent this is, but even nowadays the magazines have some kind of "recommendation prize")., and to which
WTBTS sent a letter that pressed the elders to collect the missing amount of money.
I am absolutely certain I've seen a topic here about this, I just can't find it. Maybe somebody can help me out?

their fear mongering antics are out of whack: the momentous times have nothing but gotten better, not worse.
good thing there is proof.. .
we live in momentous times:.
Nothing.
the wtbts-society is already lacking of young men, the need for elders in the future will increase drastically.. if i recall right, of those who are recruited on a later age (not born-ins), even up to 80-90% are female.. does anyone know if there is any kind of difference between genders regarding disfellowshipping?.
