"The Branch has assessed us $10.50 per pub, so that there would be an Equalizing of funds for all Publishers in the U.S.Branch Territory ".
This is interesting, I seem to remember that in the good old days the Assembly Hall will send a report of the annual expenses to the congregations. That information was posted in the information board and the Convention expenses were based on what was needed according to the report. It seems that now an arbitrary amount is being charged, using the high end of the scale as determination.
Our elders should have been sent this letter from the US branch. They did announce before the last assembly that the expected donation was $14 per publisher.
I don’t know if it was correct or not but just like STA I do remember the per capita mentioned during the accounts report.
