Lol the fact that you had to edit my comment means you simply want to remain ignorant.
But I will provide my source, which is independent:
“But the shape of the scandal is far different than in the Catholic church, where most of the people accused of abuse are priests and a vast majority of the victims were boys and young men. In the Jehovah's Witnesses, where congregations are often collections of extended families and church elders are chosen from among the laypeople, some of those accused are elders, but most are congregation members. The victims who have stepped forward are mostly girls and young women, and many accusations involve incest.”

Now you are arguing semantics, so argue with yourself.

Defensive. No, just not going to argue/discuss something that happened 30 years ago under a different leadership and different legal and financial structure. It’s irrelevant now.

It was THIRTY YEARS AGO! Move on. As you say, they are not in financial trouble today, so what happened then has no financial consequences that we are seeing today. No current GB member was on the GB in 1990, and the WT has been legally reorganized since. Jesus dude...

Look, I am not going to argue over something of little consequence that’s about 30 years old. You have your views, and I’ll have mine. -

And to add, before the donation based only change, a person still could get the magazine if they didn’t contribute any to the printing costs. How many organizations selling you something lets you have it without paying?

You’re stating the obvious, but before you were ambiguous, and apparently, you weren’t talking about those reasons before as it seem to be more about attributing motives to the change.
Anyway, its and bad financial and environmental management to keep printing in this day and age.
And when the government attempts to tax them for something they were not doing (selling literature), it was reasonable to make it donation based only, as the intent was clearly to help pay for printing costs, not to make a profit.

I just wanted to chime in on this: you don’t have to apologize for something you are not guilty of. The pope is apologizing because the RCC time and time again, admitted that it’s leaders hide abuse and shifted pedophile priests. To date, they do not deny that they are responsible for it. Secondly, the vast majority of abusers on the RCC were priests, and their abuse was done during their duties as priests (meaning, in the church).
This is really in stark contrast with JW’s, where the vast majority of child abuse is done by non-elder family members, in the home. Why should the gb apologize for the crimes members commit outside of the Hall?
Should an employer “apologize” to a bank because one of its employees decided to rob it?
So trying to compare an institution that admits it fostered an environment that permitted child abuse to one that didn’t foster such an environment is really asinine.
