But little was said that old Kingdom Hall loans were made at 3% interest up until the late 1980s. The Society now charges rates closer to market rates.
*******************

Well, no WONDER "little" was said about WHATEVER rates were CHARGED to the Brothers building new Kingdom Halls or remodelling old ones. I hope the Society doesn't get a broken arm patting itself on the back for this noble and worthy effort to appear presentable.

Let's take a peek at Deuteronomy 23:19 and see what the BIBLE says......"You must not make your BROTHER pay INTEREST, interest on MONEY, interest on food, anything on which one MAY claim interest"

It goes ON to add, "you may make a foreigner pay interest, BUT YOUR BROTHER YOU MUST NOT MAKE PAY INTEREST"

Once again, what part of this does the WBTS NOT understand?
There are contribution boxes in the KHs for the express purpose of "BUILDING FUNDS" am I right?

The publishers donate, the $$$$ is sent to the Society, and then THEY LOAN these DONATED FUNDS BACK to the congregations to build or remodel existing Halls. With me so far?

THEN, EACH Publisher are asked to DONATE (each one in the congregation) so much per month for so many months.....to COVER the COST of this LOAN! Again, with me so far?

THEN, the Society has the NERVE to CHARGE ADDED INTEREST to money already donated TO them FOR BUILDING!!!!! In direct violation of Bible principles, not to mention (but I will) the deceitful manner in which it is done.

People...WAKE UP! The WBTS is FLEECING you ROYALLY. They are ripping you and your families off, and could not care less.

I don't give a rip if they "only charge" 1% interest, it is unscriptural and deceptive to charge ANY interest. Look it up for yourselves.

If you want MORE SCRIPTURAL PROOF, look at Luke 6:35...where he says to "do good and to LEND WITHOUT INTEREST".

HELLO?

Can you SEE that this is WRONG?

WHAT more can I possibly SAY, to get you to SEE what they are doing????

PLEASE......GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE.....before you share in her sins (any longer)

LOOK in your Bibles, look in your HEARTS, and see what REALLY IS.

Sunspot.....who CARES that so many sweet folks are being duped.
