About money at the chilean branch office of the WT
by ChileanRick inhi dear friends.. as maybe you know, i'm an elder at one of the congregations in santiago of chile, and all the body of elders received a letter from the branch office saying that if the congregation has some money in a current account or so they would send it to the branch.
in june 2003, a letter about the contributions (donations) said that the money coming from all the congregations every month were so little (few), and they were worried about what are the publishers doing with their money.
this means that the chilean branch of the wt has some economical problems.

untitled
by ChileanRick inwhen i was a teen i started to go to the kh, and one of the things that made me feel bad was to see how the publishers were teached at the service meeting how they must ask for money to the people on the "field" service.
maybe you remember there was a "price list" for the literature, and all the publishers had a goal to get each month, i mean, the special pioners must "place" for example xx books and xx magazines, regular pioners x books and xx magazines.... etc.. of course i asked the jw who was going to my house for bible studies about this, and i remember he told me it wasn't a "commercial" work.
i believed him, and a little time after i was selling books and magazines to the people.. now, we don't ask a contribution directly to the people, but the wt is always looking for money from the publishers, and here in chile there is a letter that the organization sent to all the elders asking why the congregations are sending too little money to the branch office.

Reading WT Publications
by Nosferatu inokay, i don't know about the rest of you, but when i read any wt publications (even on here), i fall into a state where i'm reading, but not paying attention to what i'm reading.
i used to do it during watchtower studies, and when i was studying, i fought to pay attention to the material being discussed.
it just seems automatic, that i completely shut my mind off when reading wt publications.. what about you?
