    Is selling tables and lecterns for the kingdom hall stage platform part of the money making scheme of the wts? I have heard this from two different congregations now.

    The co rolls into town and says you need new furniture for the platform. $10,000 was one figure I was told ouch!

    A sister in another hall said it was "very expensive" but wouldn't go any further when questioned

    when will the jw's wake up and start voting with their pocketbook?

    Not surprised.

    In reality the whole thing runs on a franchise model. Each congregation needs to follow all the feel/look guidelines , and of course the Watchtower organization has all the compliant items.

    Lending money to those who donated it in a first place to build a Kingdom Hall that will belong to the Watchtower and getting the sames donators to repay the loan is the ultimate money scheme...

    Who does the check get written out to for the furniture? I'd be suspect that in the end the company who makes it/sells it is tied to a JW.
