when you consider that the wt literally sits on top of billions of dollars in cash and assets and has never in thier 130yr history built One hospital anywhere in the world, they have Never opened one college, high school or elementary school anywhere on the face of the earth, the have no abuse center for the community, the wt society has never bought one old yellow school bus so that folks in africa could get not to the WEKLY meetings each week, but to a DISTRICT CONVENTION JUST ONCE A YEAR at least they could rent a yellow school but NOT EVEN A GREYHOUND, but a yellow bus to take the old and sick to the district, instead here you have a BILLION dollar company bragging about the fact that it's members MUST WALK FOR DAYS TO GET TO THIER SALES MEETING
THERE Is NOT ONE kingdom hall or assembly hall that has been built by the society for folks to worship , instead folks worship under trees and out in the fields- the funny part is the money is actually the contributions of the members
i recall having a discussion while i was at bethel about this, we had this special report at breakfast that the Zone overseeers use to give when they came back to the bethel family
and in this exp it was of some old jw who had to walk for days and how we were dogged cause we couldn't take the train if our car broke down to get to the meetings
I would feel much better if i knew that some of the guys at bethel were buying Benzs,Rolls Royce, Yachts, private Islands, big old Mansions and stashing away Millions of $$ in Swiss accounts for themselves like we see in so many other religions, but the scary thing about wt is that many of these guys actually belive they are being directed by god
i know some of the guys at bethel who handle money, despite having plenty they act like it is the societys last dime, they are as cheap as they can get and yet they don't personally benifit directly from the money
i recall when i was the circuit assembly account overseer and when i would work in accounting a the district-
it was crazy how they protected that money we would have to count it over and over till we could account for every SINGLE PENNY AND I LITTERALLY MEAN EVERY SINGLE PENNY
YOU WOULD have thought the do was getting a cut, and they would be like
we need to send all this to Mamma, the society needs this money-
the mindset was just unreal
