"8 Ways To Give Us Your Cash" - the desperation in the latest Watchtower is tangible!
by cedars ini know gayle has already started a thread on the latest november 15th watchtower article that mentions the article on donations, but i thought a thread with a more specific title might be in order just to drive the point home for any lurkers.
i hope gayle doesn't mind!.
i've been banging the drum for a while now about what i view as the obvious signs that the watchtower is in a state of decline.. i have written the following blog articles on the subject.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/branch-closures-and-fire-sales-a-growing-trend-for-the-society.

Thanks for the link, Jeffro. I guess, my research got sloppy - have to work on it.

Jeffro >>
Since 1991 the "Charitable Planning" part has been their regular annual page filler. Their Excel projection chart must be downsloping ever since.
For the simpletons to understand how to save: "... and maximize their tax benefits".
And I bet you, they don't care about the attire you are wearing as long as you donate to the WTBTS.

A little example of how severely the contributions for the Society are drying up
by sir82 injust a little tidbit from the congregation i attend..... the congregation has approximately 120 publishers.. well over 1000 magazines per month are picked up, not to mention all the books, brochures, and tracts that are picked up.. there was a "local needs" part on the service meeting recently, asking for more contributions.. it seems our congregation has averaged just about $300 per month contributions to the "worldwide work" over the past year.. .
assuming 1500 magazines / month, that's just 20 cents per magazine - and that completely ignores all other literature that is picked up.. the last price the magazines had, 20+ years ago, was 25 cents per issue.
with inflation that would have been about 50 cents each now.. just another sign of how severely the contriutions to the society are drying up..... .

Did they not recently set up a simplified funding arrangement?
Each congregation to donate 3.00 per publisher per year?

Its over ........... what are we going to do?
by Slidin Fast ini think these olympics have been outstanding.
i know i speak from a gb perspective but it seems that the spirit, organisation and wholehearted support of these games has been outstanding.
i have not been near london during the last two weeks but it feels like everyone in the country is in a state of euphoria.. is this just because we were the hosts?

These olympics proved to be such a harmonious event. The youth of the world from various national backgrounds all peacefully united in one convention site . . .
. . . . just like an international convention of the JWs - only more joyous in nature.

This system is not all bad.
by Inisc inhi, everyone.. for many jws all they ever hear about is how wicked the world is and how it has gotten even worse lately.
the media does not help either.. and even for many ex jws who still have family who are still in, we have to listen to all that doom and gloom about the end of this system.. but, i would just like to recommend a website i found, (not sure if that violates jwn rules) .
its not religious at all, but is a news source of many heartwarming stories and news articles from all over the world that show just how wonderful life and and people can be.. i find it's a great antidote to remind us that the whole world is not wicked and in fact wickedness is still in the minority!.

Can You Open Your Home?
If you think that your home is suitable, by all means make this known to the elders. They may be looking for additional locations. If it is not possible to have a book study in your home, could meetings for field service be held there? Even if there is not a need at the present time, the elders will appreciate knowing that your home is available. You may enjoy the privilege in the future.
Our Kingdom Ministry, 2/03 p. 1 par. 3
No one wants their home messed up anymore. Especially elders and their wives.
Now they want your humble abode to be messed up and call it a privilege.
