nvrgnbk	Re: Claims about decreasing donations.
	nvrgnbk   OK.  So we should basically believe that contributions are way down because we "feel" they are way down. It seems the two hardest things for people to say is "I don't know" and "I guess I was wrong". sspo:  Most people donate around 2.5% for religion.  That's the basis for handing out shares of taxes in countries that contribute to religion.             Here's the deal proplog2.             I worked in the "financial" end of things with the WT.             I've been hearing, for years now, that contributions are down.             I've been hearing, for years now, that the Organization is sitting well financially.             I merely made an observation about how both "spins" could have adverse effects on donations.              As sspo said, contributions are down at the local level. I've heard no different from anyone, anywhere.
