If this constant grab for money doesn't wake up many, then nothing will.....

DATA-DOG

Here is what needs to be done. One of you tech-wizards needs to make a video of:

1) The WTBTS quote about NEVER soliciting funds.

2) The definition of "solicit."

3) A clip of WT quotes that describe the various ways to donate.

4) A clip of Stephen "Hale-bopper" Lett, soliciting funds.

5) Post that MOFO on YouTube!!

We never petition for money but we will make arrangements for you to legally hand over your last will and testament to are organization and by the way do you have rich kids with lots of disposable income.

Children really shouldn't have money any ways.

Interestingly, the bORG did not quote that paragraph in full.

Here is the full quote:

"Zion's Watch Tower" has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case, it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: "All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine," fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."

Good catch cappy,

This thing they put in their Sept magazine mirrors the oxymoron comment by Lett

"We never have and never will ask for money...

Please send money"

Well...I had a friend that used to say,

"You can call it a tuna fish sandwich if you like, but...if it has four legs, walks low to the ground, and is black with a white stripe running down its back.....then its a skunk."

Vidiot

"...we believe JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support... We have not wavered from that policy."

Huh.

Maybe they've concluded that the WTS doesn't have Jehovah for its backer (thusly freeing them up to waver from the policy).

TECHNICALLY speaking, it is no longer ZIONS WATCH TOWER.

So, that could be the defence.. . .
