So I'm confused, why would they be asking people, who they consider sinners, for money? Wouldn't that money be tainted as far as they are concerned?
Has anyone heard that the JW's are falling on hard times?
I found this about soliciting money: https://cult101.com/2016/06/14/do-jehova...for-money/
It's easy to get bounced out of Jehovah's Witnesses, they look askew at slackers in their midst. Hence their continuous proselytization efforts yet they never get bigger and IIRC, are shrinking some.
Additionally, they do have some 'entrance criteria' in that they discourage folks with college degrees from joining. It occurs to me if Bernie Sanders is successful with his free (compulsory?) college proposal we could be rid of JWs once and for all . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
