  1. How easy it is for these smoothe preachers to justify their wealth at the expense of their parishoners. It is like (2 Timothy 3:5) 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. We don't see The Faithful & Discreet Slave riding around in Bentlys. Yet they do manage to get from one place to another. Their pockets aren't full of money, just the opposite. The follow the admonition that Jesus gave, "We receive free so we should give free" Yes The Governing Body does get around. But it is due to the voluntary contributions made by Jehovah's Witnesses. They receive room & board and are given transportation. None of which they own. It is generally leased. They don't get a large salary like the ministers in Christendom. This also applies to the traveling brothers and elders in the congregation. Much of what they do comes out of their own pockets. It is a real travesty what these ministers of Christendom do. This is how they are described in the Bible (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. 15 It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works. I could go on & on but it is not needed. I am reposting for the benefit of Bro. in the UK
