As a bethelite I never felt the GB or heavies had more money to spend on regular stuff than the rest of us did. But, it was totally obvious that the higher ups received more gifts from dubs around the world. Not always cash gifts but suits, jewelry, trips and stuff like that. Trips was a big one. Rich dubs letting COs, DOs and bethel heavies use their beach houses and condos or flying them somewhere great for vacation was fairly common (a lot of bethelites in my day seemed to be gifted frequent flyer miles). I didn't feel this was wrong back then and I still don't. If some dubs have money and want to use it that way I have no problem with it. I'd rather they give the money to an individual than the organization anyway.
