Oh I dare you to write a check to the Watchterror in the amount of $6.66
Don't make that check out to "Watchtower" anymore!

CC of JW may also have a political benefit (yes, I am being cynical - I was taught how by the legal department).
What with the struggle between Islamacism and the Jewish Statehood, perhaps the JW want to make sure that they have the handle "Christian" branded onto them so that they won't be misperceived as being too "Jewish".
I know that even 30 years ago in my day, "Watchtower" was often confused by the general public as a sort of Zionism.
And, that back in those days "Christian" was a sort of afterthought given the almighty disposition to use the name JHVH.
Maybe this is even a hint at the long-rumoured "name change" that will soften the image of the JW?

I would make it out to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund instead. Actually, I would write one out to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund for zero dollars and zero cents.

I imagine the Society is experimenting with setting up new firewalls since every single old firewall they had failed under test. I see the latest letter from headquarters came form the "Governing Body" which is a third party not associated with any of the corporations.
I doubt any of the new ones work either. The Society still has WAY too much control not to be able to tie everything they do to the Watch Tower Pennsylvania corporation. Control = accountability. They wish it didn't, but it does and I doubt they give up much control very soon. Power's an illusion, but the control is real and objective. Especially with all the written correspondence the corporations do.
One of these days the Watch Tower owners are gonna find themselves setting outside on the curb like the Bible Students found themselves in 1917. I think the Society's too greedy to be rational. -

They were very specific last year, checks had to be made out to "Watch Tower." Not Watchtower.....
So what will they do with a check made out to "Watchtower"? Return it to the person uncashed? I think they would cash it anyways no matter how it made out.
