Would not this be easy to skim from? Just have your congregation give say 500 dollars
send in to the society that it's for 300 dollars and you now have 200 more a month. :]

Why I like Jehovah's Witnesses
by undercover witness ini keep reading that jehovah's witnesses are in effect monsters.
i keep reading that they kinda leave chaos and distrust in their wake.
so i simply wondered if anyone had anything nice to say about them?.

You have to think objectively. Sorry but it's true.
1) If I become a Jehovah's Witness but then decide it's not for me will they be friendly to me?
Answer____________________________________________
2)Do the people I see on the street represent how everybody will act when I am inside?
Answer___________________________________________
3)Is it possible that if I do something that they deem being a troublemaker I will be thoroughly interrogated by 3-8 Elders by myself in a small room where they specifically tell me I can't have a tape recorder?

Will the WTS follow the McDonald's corporate model?
by sir82 inas most people know, mcdonald's derives the principal part of its earnings, not from greasy food, but from real estate.. they buy property, then, in addition to charging franchisees for the right to use their name, they charge them rent for the building sitting on corporately-owned real estate.. this business model yields well over $20 billion per year in gross revenue.. could this be the idea behind the soon-to-come revamp of the rbcs into ldcs?
the wts will purchase property and charge its "franchisees" (the congregations) a fee to use the building on the site?.
of course, it wouldn't be called a "franchise fee" or even "rent", it would be named something like a "voluntary contribution to support kingdom interests" or some such folderol.. any "non-performing" congregations would get shut down and/or merged, and the property sold.

Who is all this money benefiting? When you have hundreds of millions or billions of dollars there will be someone trying to tap into that. Is it the Governing Body? Governing Body helpers?
Is it mid level skimmers or local congregation frauds? With all the money being centralized it's just going to get much much juicier.

I completely agree with you Doug. The context is the ultimate indicator. I would have to almost read every watchtower to do that or come up with some sophisticated software and that's just not going to happen. I know someone on here was doing just that with every watchtower in a searchable database and advanced search features but they haven't updated us. So this is a good eyeball on the situation and some words like 'Christ Jesus' and 'Jesus Christ' do represent sentiment very well because they are not so context dependent.

it's different for each congregation.. so you would have to find the specific code for that kingdom hall of doom.
