Strange visit

    After 4 years away from meetings and no contact with the cong I attended, yesterday I answered the door to find an elder at the door. He was PO in my cong but has been removed I had heard. He said he was calling about the disaster fund and that the society wanted to update everyones details like phone numbers and contacts. He said everyone was being called on. I said I did not want to give my details which threw him a bit and he went on rabbiting about the state of the world and how tornados were getting nearer!!! He left when I again refused to give any details.

    My son also heard this conversation and was as confused as me. What is the disaster fund? we thought a fund was to collect money but that wasn't mentioned. Anyone cast any light on this strange visit?

    Don't know for sure - but it sounds like they are trying to create a Jw network of info to assure that everyone is fine after a natural disaster.

    Commendable in itself, but they will walk over the bloody and injured to care for a Jw. Good practice for post-Armageddon I suppose. They should also take a course in being able to handle crows plucking eyes. That would be useful.

    What B.S. !! The WTS only collects money into its "Worldwide Work" fund and distributes it wherever it damn well pleases, when it wants to. As has been documented elsewhere on this forum, the WTS does not want contributions to be directed to specific areas of the world (like the Hurricane Katrina zone).

    This attempt to collect information on inactive members smells a lot like an attempt at control. Nobody needs to give out "phone numbers and contacts" to nutjobs coming to call at their house.

    I agree with Gopher, it was a fishing expedition.
