=)) Wow, so sorry someone told you that but I know that AIN'T TRUE as I don't even have a thousand dollars and am one. All donations are volunteer based. It is rare for someone else to know what someone contributes.

No, in fact we show people where in the bible says that we don´t have to give 10% of our income and explain that it is shame that verse is in the bible but some religious organization "jump" that verse. (Ephesians 2:15)

Fools, fools, fools, that they are. This is what happens when they don't know what is truth and what is false. Their eyes have been blinded by scales. And the thing is many don't want these scales to be dropped out from their eyes. They would rather believe the false rather than the truth.
My friends Now born again believers of Jesus Christ. Mr. & Mrs. (omited last name) and use to work where they print JW's books etc., said they were never asked to leave a
will and has not heard of anyone else leaving a will to the JW's. But then there are many foolish people who would leave a will to the JW's.

No,
all giving is done from the heart.
There are no collection plates passed.
Even the publications are free.
