He can’t just give everyone cash and call it a day. They would also have to file personal tax forms and pay any deficiency or be refunded for overpayment.

True, each of the ‘employees’ would have to lodge personal tax returns.
Frankly, it seems like a whole lot of wasted effort for the small amounts involved.
Feelings of grandeur perhaps?

JW's dont seem to want to know about the inner workings. As long as they are not required to think, they are fine.

That’s how I remember life in the borg; any negative is viewed as harmful apostate messaging.

They may have clashed over Serena Williams being allowed to publicly associate with political organizations like the NAACP without any consequences. It may seem petty but old style JWs would take a very dim view of it and you'd never get away with it back in the day.

Probably determined by how much contributions were made

Heavenly Gates Closed in 1935 Re-opened in 2007

by Alfred in

since 1935, the watchtower had been categorically teaching (for over 6 decades) that the heavenly calling of the 144,000 anointed christians had ceased in 1935. this teaching was especially significant to older jws (especially those who spent much of their lives serving the watchtower as pioneers, elders, missionaries, bethelites, etc.

) because many of these would eventually turn their attention to the aging governing body members and feel a sense of relief knowing that the end was drawing ever so near.

in other words, as more governing body members (who were born before 1935) passed away, the closer they would get to their long-awaited reward of surviving armageddon and living on paradise earth where they would finally hug grass-eating lions near a waterfall while marveling at snow-peaked mountains in the distance.

What I wonder is what the average R&F makes of all this, the new GB members?

Surely they must be at least puzzled, or even troubled, at seeing the numbers of their priestly class gradually exploding?

We were conditioned to view newer emblem partakers as a bit deluded or even cranks. So how do they feel about these latest additions to the gb?

And if the gates closed in 1935 with any new members simply being replacements for unfaithful ones, there must be one hell of a lot of the remnant who’ve been unfaithful!

Finally, the sheer grandiosity of Lloyd's statement about his legacy and making sure "generations" of people benefit!

That’s what happens when you don’t see you’re living in the “last days of the last days” ! 😉🥴🙃
