**this is not meant to be the definitive basis or way of calculating the society's earnings each year, but just an observation.. from my congregations accounts, i averaged the last six months of what is sent to the society just out of curiosity.

that amount is approximately $620 per month.

now, my congregation is located in what is known as a relatively poor town in the u.s. i understand that many congregations will give much more than this and many congregations will give much less.

1. jw
2. experiences
the recent resurrected topic on franz' books got me curious.. how much did his writing contribute to your decision to leave?.

for myself, it was another brick in the wall but not more important than any other.

i was a little different than most in that i regularly read anti-witness stuff from the very beginning and never stopped.

thought this one was quite creepy - the article to be studied january 11-17 "treasure your place in the congregation", page 13 para 5 reads (italics mine):.

"the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience" is so widespread that it is like the air we breathe.

Blood and the Hospital Liaison Committee

before i ask the question i have, i'll present some background information.. my story: when i was 16, i was hospitalized with bone marrow cancer for an extended period of time.

of course, the blood issue came up as doctors noticed that i may quickly need one.

at the time being fully "in", i refused one, but being a minor the doctors pushed the issue to the court system.
