MUSTANG- Very true. I didn't donate a lot either as I felt God had it all anyway. I needed my money more than the WT society did. They probably will put a telethon on one day if they get desperate enough !
JRINGE 01 - I think you can reasonably assert that by printing the many varied and different ways that the society can have access to your money that it does constitute " begging " or " petitioning " . They are trying to make the rank and file members feel guilty or indebted to them by even going there with the subject discussing life insurance policies, wills, estate contributions, etc. It's out of the ordinary to request this of people. Do you and I as individuals go up to our friends and ask, " Hey, if you feel like it , let me describe different ways you can financially contribute to my well being and future ? " I mean- come on.
1914BS- I don't know if the " lord " will destroy the WT society. But I think they will start gradually losing members because people will see through the scam in time !
WILDFELL- I agree with you. I feel it is very brazen of the WT society to request money before you die ! I resisted giving much money to them like you did also. I needed the money to raise my then 3 minor children and put food on the table ! Good points you make though ! They do live off of " donated funds " - so in a way the governing body is getting a total free ride financially ! Pretty sick.
VM 44- Very true what you say. Russell would be turning in his grave if he knew that 130 years later that the organization he started was soliciting people's retitrements, trust funds, and wills. A very greedy society the Watchtower society is ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
