Others have mentionned various and valid reasons.
One thing got me very upset:
After this arrangement was established in US and Canada, I moved where the need was greater (Dominican Republic).
That arrangement wasn't in effect there.
We (my family and I) were giving litterature to the people.
It got the missionaries very upset.
The society had the same talk as we had been accostumed prior to the new arrangement.
We weren't to give publications away.
The prices were as in our countries prior to the new arrangement.
BUT, BUT and yes BUT, the average salary for a government employee was 700.00$US a YEAR.
So do a bit of calculation and see for yourself how much it was costing for a JW to live in the THRUTH.
I was sad to see.
Anyways, it's not that they wanted to avoid paying taxes that is the problem, but the MENSONGES,MENTIRAS that the WTBTS did so the JW's would swallow the whole thing.
JW's say they are in thruth but actually live in hypocrisy and lies.
Did you ever read the Bible by yourself?
Asking Jehovah God's spirit to guide you?
Ithink that if you are here it is that you are not satisfied whith your religion, Isn't true?
