   I guess if the WT makes sure it's going to get there, then it MUST be   
   true. After all, why would they lie?

   Then this should be an easy task for you - just give me the name of   
   any charitable organization that you or any other JW has donated money   
   to via the WT. It's easy enough to check whether or not the donations   
   were properly forwarded., or if they received anything at all from the   
   WT. Just give me a name.
