   ## Since when?  The cash goes into the DONATION BOX (like a donation plate)   
   and the elders send it to the WTS after paying the KH's bills.  No one has a   
   say as to how or where that cash is spent by the WTS.   
      
   The wtbs, make sure the money gets there.

   Meeee....   
   All the JWs wish for is walking around the COUNTRYSIDE (never any towns   
   pictured in the WT rags) smiling like the village idiot and carrying   
   baskets of veggies and fruit with them.  Also note they all live in suit   
   pants and dress shirts.  The women live in housedresses of 1952 vintage.....   
   and they call that paradise?  Any normal human being would rapidly be bored   
   to death looking at trees, grass, each other's ever smiling faces and eating   
   a vegetarian diet.   
   They'd soon be longing for a good book, a movie, a Mall or a steak   
   dinner..... (Carol)
