These guys are hardened liars. Anything they say is a lie and anything they deny the opposite is true. If they say that donation went up by 15% I would suggest the opposite is true. They will never say contribution are plummeting after the last big money grab because this would cause an even further decline in contributions so it is deny deny deny to keep the money coming in.
If they say: "The governing body has re-analysed ways to cut back at all branches to re-direct money to the field. including long-standing Bethel routines and services".
You can bet the money is going towards anticipated multi child molestation pay outs and huge costs in legal representation to keep from going under. The lawsuit lawyers are like sharks that smell blood in the water and are circling around the Watchtower carcass to get their share of the banquet to feast on. We should be hearing very soon now about many Kingdom Hall being put on the market to help this corporation from drowning in debt.
