    Well i feel insulted I was asked to put down in a piece of paper how much

    I am going to commit to give per month.

    I don't turn in service slips. What in hell made them think I'm going to give money?

    That's how I feel.

    The recent changes are interesting. I'm proud that I left five+ years ago, because my leaving was on issues of principles not related to money. (However, I had stopped contributing in the early 1990's knowing something was wrong but couldn't put my finger on it),

    It will be interesting to watch all this unfold. I have thought that the day may come when we (fellow apostates) have to be "encouraging" to the families that have shunned us for years when they finally see the Ponzi scheme and false religion and are disgusted.

    I think the people are waking up. I also think they are fed up with the Socities BS.

    I think last night was my last night. Just when I wanted to give them a chance again.

    170 publishers at $1100 a month? That isn't much at all. How do they pay their loan amounts and other bills? Does each KH have to take care of their own bills (utility and such) Or is it covered by the WT?

    The average JW will give, no problem.

    For most JW's money is a means to an end a idiom. It is used

    when something you are doing (knocking on doors) is not as

    important to you as to what you hope to achieve by doing it,

    to make it to paradise. Trust me, they will dig deep into their

    pockets....

    They can teabag my bollocks, and I still wouldn't give 'em a dime.

    Sorry for candy coating it.

    Can someone back up and explain what's happened?

    And please post a copy of the form. I'd like to pledge to give lots of money within my lifetime, and then on my deathbed, change it to soon.

    Kinda like "it's so close you won't be able to finish college", then "within this 20th century", then "um, soon".
