No, I won't have that, WingCommander!!
God's organisation on earth "faithfully & discretely" heavily invests its donated funds in the stock market!
It's definitely not gambling, because I'm sure the org never lost any money in the 2008 crash.

For many - even JW's - it's a brightly lit and colourful time of year when people appear happier & friendlier.
When I was still "in" a number of years ago, a long-time friend who was Catholic said that he wished he was a JW, because he hated the hypocrisy and expense of Christmas - especially the compulsion to buy presents for people at a designated time of year.
Probably billions of non-Christians get involved/profit from the "festive season."

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

CATHOLICS: Unless you believe in the holy trinity, you'll be eternally damned.
JW's: Unless you believe in the governing body, you'll be damned now, and then eternally!
Both use a spurious common denominator, which condemns them both!
At least Catholics can live this life.

If you wish to "make a statement," write your letter.
Personally, I don't believe in acknowledging/accepting the cult's way of wanting things done, so I'd just fade and ignore their "shepherding" (witch-hunting) calls, and fade.

We used to believe it was because of seeing the others' intense grief at bereavement:
bhs chap. 7 p. 72 par. 5 - Seeing their sadness, he felt hurt and cried.
w13 9/15 p. 32 - Still, he gave way to tears, moved by his deep love and compassion for his friends.
w08 5/1 p. 24 par. 3 - Jesus’ heart was touched by the pain of others.
w06 5/1 p. 28 par. 6 - He was so deeply moved by Mary and Martha’s anguish
But now we believe it was because of his personal grief regarding Lazarus' death!!!!
“After the death of a close friend named Lazarus, Jesus' grief was intense....The pain was crushing!”
@ 4 mins 35 secs - https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/2022-Governing-Body-Update-7/
John 11:11-17 seems to disagree with the claim that Jesus was "crushed" at the news!

Yup, divine proof at last, that this is God's organization.
