I wrote down $250. So far I have given $00,000,000.00
oh! you be so bad. If only you were the exception. But as we all know, what you did is pretty close to what most of the r&f did.
Shame on you all!! :)
so here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.

I was the account servant for many - many years. I am also a CPA and an accounting professor. So, I know budgeting and the many problems associated with budget management. Part of me would love to be a part of the financial inner circle to understand what is going on. But that would mean that I would have to shave my beard and go back to the meetings, which will not happen.
What you describe get to the core problem with this arrangement. I suspected all along that this new system would fail. I love these stories, keep them coming.
who are the real heroes of society?.
are they not the people who are doctors and nurses and teachers and firemen and policemen and counselors and humanitarians?.
because of the watchtower organization, we are missing generations of those kinds of heroes who will not exist (but could have) because jehovah's witnesses destroyed them by convincing millions of it's members those professions are meaningless and unimportant for them to pursue.
Let me correct you:
Generation after generation of productive human beings continue to be destroyed.
It is actually just one (overlapping) generation.
Other than that, you are spot on. They destroy the soul of its members and never allow them to be anything other than a Watchtower drone.
i havent seen this posted in a while and i think its really well done, so i share here now:.

during the many years of being a jw, i could never really bring myself to be exited about the co's visit.
this has been an issue that always kept me wondering back to religions.
why could not feel the same happiness that made everyone around me cry during the sunday service?
I always hated the CO visit. Those extra meetings were a real downer. I have been around long enough to remember all the additional meetings. The one I always hated was the talk after the WT study. Do they still have that? I still remember a few very insulting COs who discounted the efforts of the publishers.
As an elder, I hated the feeling that we were under inspection.
So, I miss none of it.
after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.
it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.
i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.
Brothers on the school can now be given assignments with assistants, just like the sisters.
Wow, do they have to wear a dress?

Sir82 "You graduated!"
We all know you never graduate. It is like the Hotel California. You can check in but you can never check out.
