TLisieux:It is done by voluntary contribution into their donation boxes. Every month they read their account report to the congregation. They are organized people. They are united all over the world 19 Likes 1 Share |

TLisieux:Many bequeath their wealth to JW church when they die. Many also donate large sums too but all done as anonymously as possible. You do not get a front row seat because you regularly donate millions. The little donations people give anonymously add up to a lot. Remember that most of their full time staff are volunteers. Many JW doctrine actually seem closest to early Christianity's. Some of their doctrine may seem extreme but majority of them actually practice what they preach. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

nairavsdollars:no church COMPELS anyone to give offering,no matter how they paint it in black on the social media; but if the priest in the church truly wants the prosperity of his members,he would encourage them to give. give and it shall be giving UNTO you. Any person that discourages you to give doesn't love you or your true prosperity.It is not biblical NOT to give. Giving is living. you don't reap what you didn't SOW. Giving is showing seed 5 Likes 1 Share |

Stop this comparison. Offerings are optional in pentecostal churches. You are not compelled to give but advised to give. 2 Likes |

Jethrolite: You don't have to be born a witness. Not all witnesses you see are born as a witness but the issue is as you said... You wanted to convert because of her. So what happens when you get what you're after..? You go back to where you're coming from.? The main thing is seeing the difference and if that's where you ought to be because of the accuracy and truthfulness in the bible teachings, make the move not because of the Lady you are trying to get. There are countless numbers of beautiful, morally upright and well mannered ladies there. |

TLisieux: They have a huge work force base in every country of their operation. Here in Nigeria, they operate from Igieduma in Edo State otherwise referred to as Bethel. In there , they have thousands of volunteers in different discipline to assist in every aspect they may require. They are skilled, semi skilled and so like that. With such volunteers for free, you may wish to agree that funds would be just a minor faction to erecting structures. And yes they don't pay salaries to their volunteers(as they always say) but they have other volunteers that do the cooking, another that do the farming and another that does just about any other thing. It's like a system of government where you trade in barter by helping some group do what your group can and the other groups help your group whey they can. That way money becomes almost insignificant. But hey man. That sheet is a cult. So many rules, u don't fuxk doggy style, u don't keep goatees, u don't pray with others, no allegiance to the country, no singing of national anthem, no joining of military, no smoking but you can drink to stupor and no anal sex, 4 Likes |

TLisieux: Thru the same voluntary contributions. More so, money contributed is used exclusively to meet needs of the kingdom work and it's never for one man's (or a few men's) consumption. Also Jehovah's Witnesses do not have a paid clergy, all the work done is voluntary. 1 Like |

Ever8054:that is why there is freedom of religion. I'm sure you're 18+ so there's no way someone will force you to give. If you know your Bible and the way someone is telling you to give, you are not OK with it, choice is always left for you. There's nobody on earth that can tell me that my mother is a witch after me or something that I'd believe or take likely no matter who you are, in the same way nobody can cajole me into giving against my wish by any threat. That's why I'm an adult - Decision 1 Like |
