i'm not sure if anyone has started a post about contributions recently ,but if there is an accounts servant here please free to correct me or shed some more light .what i'm about to say is 100% accurate and applies to congragations in britain (don't ask me how just ...join the dots).
the society controls all the funds that are coming in the kingdom hall all of the time .the way this works out is as follows :you put any money in any of the contribution boxes and in the end all money are added to together and deposited to the congragation's bank account .the worldwide donations leave the account as a direct debit to the society every week and the rest stays in the account .now comes the interesting bit :once the account goes over 5000 we are instructed to send the rest to the society as a cheque and is held in their account for as long as the congragation doesn't needed back .this way all but 5000 are held in the society's account .any other experiences ?.
Some of the funds not being used (usualy in the thousands of dollars) are kept in secured savings with high rate of returns (CDs).
A circuit or district may have funds for a new kingdom hall and as they look for land or a building they place these funds in such accounts.
I handled some accounts while I was working for a financial institution a while back, not specifically for the Borg, they were just part of the portfolio
i met this guy about a monnth ago on instagram we kik and skype call everyday since he lives 2000 miles away.
he tells me that hed like to be my boyfriend for now were taking it slow but im really not so sure im really skeptical about anything but so far hes showed me i can trust him.
i tell im i dont want to be in a relationship where both couples know there not gonna last but there still together just to have someone.
The physical part of the relationship is non existing. I'm not talking about sexual things but things like holding hands, walking together, going to the movies, the scent of the person (good or bad), the random look exchange, hanging out with friends, kissing while no one is looking-well, that one is just me-, etc.

It doesn't work out. Sorry.
who else is excited?
flat-out the best show on television.
last season hit a lull in the middle, but ended with a bang imo..
Cannot wait!!
I'm trowing a little viewing party at my house with some friends, hopefully the elders don't find out or they'll be jealous I didn't invite them to see the best TV show ever.
Too bad Shane had to go, he was def my most favorite and least favorite if that makes sense. Can't wait to see why there is a helicopter flying around and see if the virus gets worse within the living.
so, we had our new co (who actually seemed nice and somewhat personable in his own way.).
he gave a talk titled something like "do we sacrifice to jehovah?
"(can't remember the exact title.
Red Piller, I used to work for a financial institution that some of the circuit and districts would use to hold funds in CDs and Money Markets. I can't go in specifics but these accounts weren't considered low funds accounts if you know what I mean.
august 20, 1940: author cox was arrested and charged with the murder of deputy sheriff dean pray.
cox had been actively working in association with watchtower for 33 years prior, and had been assigned at the time by watchtower to the portland, maine congregation of jehovahs witnesses.
cox carried credentials issued by watchtowers president, j. f. rutherford.
What kind of "disclipine" would I get if the elders found out I that I owned guns? I am an active dub

Ok so tonight there was no fund raising speech.Just the typical new light and how we need to ignore the constant changes and how Jehovah gave us a free night for a family study night. Im sure the GB says it comes directly from him
so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.
too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .
that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?
Bored outta my mind...No donation speech yet

I have witnessesed (no pun intended) bank accounts with hefty balances just sitting earning interests in CDs. Rates are too low to earn any serious money anymore.... Not earning enough, paying high settlements, buicks and pick up trucks expenses for COs and other elite brothers, etc. Yeah, I can definitely see the "need" for more donations.
