if you can believe this,
I called our Brooklyn tower of power....what a group
I asked them about the name change....it seems he
doesnt know what I am even talking about...just said
it was new corporation mumbo jumbo...
this after a long putting me on hold......
so then I asked the question.............about the
charitable annuity program
the guy said .what... I said you have a charitable
annuity program..I want to know about it.......
he says well I ll have to connect you with the
treasury dept, so I go over there...now mind you all
along I am being quite meek and mild...... so the
treasury guy again almost has no idea and he says of
the charitable thing..yes yes we have a separate
department for that.....
so I get to the dept.........I ask about it..of course
the question comes.... WHO ARE YOU...isaid I am(get
this) an "interested party".......
so he said after some silences .yes we have one.... I
said how long has it existed ..he say I dont
know...........
I sad well what's it for........ he asks do I know
what an annuity is... i said yes.......
he said well it is a TOOL (his favorite word) , not
investment, a tool to donate a lump sum at one time
irrevocably and then draw it out at a later
date.........
so then I said well who is it open to...he says
EVERYONE......I asked how does one find out about this
.....he said you have to ASK......we dont and I love
this part "ADVERTISE" (JOe Rutherford just rolled
over)
.so by now I am getting a bit more STERN and I said let
me get this straight....you haven an investment that
your members dont even know about , you dont
advertise it .—˜—•..how do they KNOW IT EXISTS!
he said they just have to ask!.....
I said you have 6 million members, print a magazine
once a week and you cant put ti in there...
well ...NO we cant.
I said how bout the inner working documents, the
kingdom ministry have you put it in there..he said no
we dont........
I said ya know I am abit upset by all this , My mother
has been donating money to your firm for over 30
years...and she knows nothing about this, do you think
it is right...he said
well we print it ONCE A YEAR>>>>>> in a watchtower
under planning options .(Nov 1,200o pge31) THe witnesses can ask for a
brochure that outline all the options........
they can donate a sum , and draw on it till they die
and when they do...the organization GETS THE REST!
CHEERIO!
there you go...mother org keeps the money!!!!!!
I am getting a brochure sent to me
