UK JWs go up 72 places in latest 2017 Charity 250 Index (2nd highest climbers) (page 2)

thanks - that's interesting - and any 'per week' figure is only a fluid ball-park to create a headline.

I've found the 'Cash' donations line in both Charities financials.

Interestingly the IBSA is showing a huge increase in the latest accounts (31 August 2016) of £39 million, up from your £14.5 million figure - I've linked the PDFs I used below

(41 + 39) million / 138,261 / 52 = £11.12 per week

Darkspilver, the websites you link to are summaries of WTBTS and IBSA financials. I downloaded pdfs of the actual financials last year. (I tried to attach the pdf's; I don't seem able to.)

Have you checked the 'Documents' tab on the Charity Commission's website? Are they the documents you mean? Or, are there others?

My JW Family: Look at that chart - truly evidence that jehovah is blessing us.

Me: It's evidence that he's blessing the mormons more.

Tithing income was £30.5 million

UK membership in December 2015 was 187,097 (2014: 186,878)

£30.5 million / 187,096 / 52 weeks = £3.13 per week per member

No, I missed that. These appear to be identical to the ones I have. I see it has the 2016 accounts as well. I will have a read, when I get the chance.

shepherdless: There is a massive increase in cash coming in from 2013 to 2015, and I just don't believe there has been a massive increase in individual donations over that time.

There likely hasn't been an increase in individual donations.

If the UK reporting is anything like the Canadian tax reporting, "donations" can also include donations from New York and other branches.

If you check the line on the 2015 UK financial report, that details the foreign currency gains, the amount reported is $3,053,415. That is just from moving money around internationally. Money made from simply making a "donation" from one country to another.

The WTS has been using Germany as an "inflow"/"outflow" entity for years. In 2013, the org received money from Germany, and then in 2014, they moved money to Germany.

According to the OP, in 2014/15, they claim that the UK branch received 12 million in "grants" from Germany. But they fail to mention the money/goods that was moved back to Germany in the same period.

It is all money games. International movement of $$$

These donations are a goldmine
