   If you donate directly, your money is already is in the hands of the   
   intended charity, so how could giving it to the WT be more efficient?

   What does the United Way have to do with the WT?

   That's as may be, but it's not what I asked you. You wrote the   
   following:   
      
   "When JW's send in their donations, they specify where is the funds to   
   be used at. The wtbs, make sure the money gets there. It has always   
   been this way. The same occurs within the congregation. Special funds   
   are decided by resolution, and a majority"   
      
   So what organizations do these donations go to? Give me just one   
   name...
