"Nothing is hidden. Jehovah's eyes sees everything

Document in French. Please check page 9. This is the audit report of the Association for Jehovah's Witnesses in France, East Region.

There is different associations like this one in other areas, all of them covering and managing the KH and congregations in France.

Surprisingly.... Almost all the donations in 2014 and 2015 has been transferred to "Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany", another equivalent association managing JW interests in Germany.

What the FDS do not tell, the "Journal Officiel" the public records journal in France informs it. All associations do have to publish their audit reports every year.

We do not speak about few pennies...

2014: 9.279.230 EUR

2015: 6.950.000 EUR

Where all millions of EUR from French JW have gone? Germany?

schnell

€3 million. That's a pretty steep drop off.

going to Germany?, yes, you seem to hear that so much these days, from afghanistan to gambia. , A very permissive setup. a lot of shady goings on there. but bethel germany is efficirnt:

perhaps jws are contributing so much money because they think it is a substitute for useless house to house service hours. . schuldgeld sans frontieres.

I think that might be donations for some literature and as the literature get cheaper and less and less attractive the suggested donations they impose on the congregations goes down.

Isn't Germany printing literature for France or do they print their own? would be the next question.

Hey sp74bb!

2015: 6.950.000 EUR
Where all millions of EUR from French JW have gone? Germany?

Lets try some maths

6,950,000 EUR
divide by
125,000 average number of French publishers
=
Average donation of US$1.14 per publisher per week
I presume this is donated by publishers to cover such things as the production, printing and shipping of all publications - (magazines, workbooks, song books, bibles etc etc) that they receive for their own use and for use in the ministry?

Now try comparing that to Britain

Darkspilver,

The figures are only of 1 of the 4 associations set up to manage the Work in France.

You shall then multiply the amount at least by 4. Anyhow donations in France seems to be very little...

sp74bb: They have to watch their wallets, France is the country with the longest overlapping generation. 122 years just for juste one group, voire Jeanne Calment 122 plus years. ca est calment.

That's the first thing I noticed as well!! A 30% drop in donations! WOW! No wonder they begging and groveling for kids' ice cream money! . . . Doc
