FDS says - "No need to check our work. Besides, it will only make God angry."
by Crisis of Conscience inthough i no longer believe the fds is indeed appointed by god, i guess because of what has been taught to me all these years through the wtbts, i still make an effort to try and look at both sides.
and then i come across this number below, which is how i arrived at my title for this thread.

Just curious but how do they get away with this - I'm talking legally here. Aren't they a charitable trust

My Lord & my God. That just leaves me with out words. I'm been serious here is someone having me on about the assembly hall contributions. I sincerely never knew or suspected that, and I used to feel bad that there was a shortfall.just amazing.

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.
by Qcmbr inever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.
to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.
you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

Sorry to disappoint everyone. But there was a front page article in this country saying that since Romney had spotlighted the Mormon church that they had significantly grown in this country, and that the church although surprised was delighted with the out come.

Sillygirl2013: No this was more than 3-4 years ago and had nothing to do doctrinal issues. This was to do with fraud or theft of money. Gee this has got me thinking now. Im interested.

Slimboyfat:That was very interesting. I was told this account by a random person I meet on the internet who lived in India and called himself a witness. This must be at least 10 -15 years ago (Im guessing). What makes me remember and doubt this guys story is that I had to delet this guy off my yahoo I.M because he became threatening. If he was a witness I think it may of just been for appearances sake. He also sent me a photo of himself (I like to put a face to who I am talking to) and he was butt ugly. He really could of been anyone. I do remember him been quite disgusted with what was going on, and I can also remember him telling me that the majority of witness lived in one province of India (as just now has been verified by slimboyfat thread) so there could be some truth to it..

I have just been reading a post "We had an easy exit from JW" by T.D Joseph. The guy is obviously in India and so he says his brother was quite high up in the JW Ranks. What I am wondering? I remember hearing an unverified account some years ago of a very senior bethelite in India defrauding the organization. I believe Brooklyn got involved and sent some big wigs over to do an Audit and sort the matter out. I believe that some fell on the sword over it. So this poster got me wondering about this unverified account. So my question is "is this story true or not" and can any one veryify it. The person who I heard this from some years ago was a person I meet on the internet. Thanks

No gopher I am sorry this has sort of missed the point. What I am wanting to know is how much the percent growth is in 1st world countires in comparison to 2nd and 3rd world countires and the disparity between them. I know I have seen a post where someone calculated this out. I am having a conversation with a witness friend of mine and I am trying to convince him that part of the reasons for asset stripping is because of unsustainable growth in 3rd world countires. So hence all the asset stripping and cut backs. Im gunna have another look because it is just driving me crazey.
