On another thread, carla raised a very interesting question concering the New Donation/Tithing Arrangement. She asked:
Would they be instructed to tell non jw spouses about their 'tithing' agreement? A forced amount that comes out of the family budget? If so, I will have to take an equal amount to donate to anti-witness causes. I wonder how the elders would see that?
I have two friends that have completely faded and quit going to meetings, yet their spouses still go. I contacted them this week with this very question. Neither of their wives had told them about the new donation/tithing arrangement!
What do the rest of you know about this kind of situation? This is just one more practice/policy from the WTBTS Leadership that drives a wedge between active JWs and their family members that are not.
