I believe the WT Society is doing quite well financially , I mean it's a billion $$$ organization, right ? However that being said- I'm sure that all of these child abuse lawsuits coming against the WT Society are causing them to leak a little financial oil here and there.
So instead of being honest in telling the real truth to JW's on JW.org that " we need more donations in order to pay out money to our young brothers and sisters who are victims of child abuse " -instead- they have Stephen Lett get up there and manufacture the reasons for needing more donations for , " congregations being built, more kingdom halls, and the rising costs of spreading the good news of Jah's kingdom." It's the ultimate con game. The ultimate BS marketing ploy using guilt to induce JW's to see a perceived " need " in the organization - and then they all pat each other on the back for helping the organization out with this alleged " need ". And rank & file are none the wiser and just lap it up like kittens lapping up cream in a saucer. Cult mind control at it's most coercive , manipulative point. Unfortunately the GB have become experts at this. To the detriment of rank & file JW's
