happy to be fleecing the sheep who leave the folds of the multi-billion dollar "established" empires - like wtbts..
A very mixed bunch , some obviously gained wealth from being authors and nothing is said in the article about any ' good works ' that they might do with their money .
Others who have mega wages from the donations of church members.. mmm not sure about that .
Certainly donations to churches in the UK are nothing like those in megachurches in the US . They are mostly used for building upkeep ( many UK churches, like mine , are very old ) . Also we pay for our Parish administrator and give donations to charities.

I'm wondering if they don't make much ( if anything) of the circumstances of Jesus's birth because they point to the Holy Spirit being His Father . So that coupled with the first 14 verses of John's Gospel kind of support Trinitarian teaching .
Off course it's also that not celebrating Christmas keeps JWs separate from other denominations.
So maybe l am way off in my speculation.
