How registering as a JW in Germany benefits the WT/Org
by OrphanCrow in
1. jw
2. friends
in some european countries, "church tax" is levied against members of certain religions.

how each country handles this differs depending on each country's tax laws.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/church_tax.

in germany, a member of a religion that has "public law" status pays an additional 8 or 9 percent on their tax assessments.

i have once commented under the topic "are you better off as a worldly person or a jw?

My impressions of the cart witnessing
by Sour Grapes in
1. jw
2. experiences
i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.
