  a friend of mine (exjw) received a WhatsApp call completely out of the blue last week from a brother we both knew, I reckon either of us haven't heard from him in about 20 years and the first thing he mentioned was are you trying to use a different method of recording hours, my mate was having none of it.

  While this seems like an altruistic letter, the cynic in me thinks it is an attempt to prevent losing donators due to illness and death, as there are a lot of older jws and the org isn't really growing in developed countries.
