Concerning the mentioned support for symphonic orchestra and archeological research by our famous brother. Did you note that a rank & file JW is disadvised to attend higher education in music and archeology while high rank JW Lorenz is appreciated by the GB to support university education?
All the projects supported by Reiblings foundation need people with higher education at university level. Is Reibling a secret supporter of the "secret pro-education fraction of Jehovas witnesses?
This donations for universities and researchers are not alone a matter of conscience of one single brother but a slap in the face of the whole witness community which is admonished to remain uneducated and avoid higher education for the purpose of serving as full time pioneer.
Should the GB not tell JW to imitate Reiblings example and to use a portion of remaining money as a donation in worldy universites or to study themselves music and archeology instead use their savings for the WTS ?
Prof. Reibling made himself a career and is scientist and his career is presumably 100% contrarian to the common image of a JW.
Whereas pioneers and average JW are satisfied with an average income or even halftime jobs and save money at accounts with low rendites and donate to the society to use a kingdom hall, Reibling’s daily business consists in convincing clients to agree to „club deals“ with at least 7% oder even double digit of 20 % return. He selects only the best and ultimate wealthy clients.
„The real estates are not just kept for the asset managers to sell it at a profit, says Chairman and Senior Partner Lorenz Reibling, but we want to develop them, make them more efficient and thus create economic added value. This pays off for the investors. Since 1996, returns of approximately 20% have been achieved with the risky club deals.‘“
Should not all JW achieve also an edcuation where they can invest in such deals and have a better life in our critical time intead of simplyfing their lifes for the organsation?
