If everybody took and donated their spare change that was around the house, it could add up to a healthy sum. Also some might collect gold jewelry (like a gold earring that lost its mate) and turn it in to cash for a KIngdom Hall contribution. Some one might organize a deposit bottle return project and get the cash back for a donation. Every little bit helps. Nice, thought provoking post.

Someone I met in service once gave me her "voluntary donation" for the magazines I placed with her: a jar full of coins. But it just wouldn't fit in the contribution box! I was forced to give it to the accounts servant personally.

 

He told me at the next meeting there was about $19 (Canadian) in it, all of it in nickles, dimes and quarters (or whatever the equivalent is in your currency). Pretty heavy.

This is Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Canada.

 

It was built in the mid-1970s as the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics. It is known as "The Big O," a reference to both its name and to the doughnut-shape of the permanent component of the stadium's roof. It is also called "The Big Owe" to reference the astronomical cost of the stadium and the 1976 Olympics as a whole. The former Montreal Expos used to play baseball in this stadium. But since they left for Washington, DC, in 2004, the stadium has not had a main tenant. With a history of numerous structural and financial problems, it is largely seen as a white elephant.

As far as Jehovah's Witnesses are concerned, the stadium has been used for District Conventions a few times. The first one I remember was in 1985 when the attendance was 88,000. Most of those (such as French and English sessions) were in the main stadium, but other language groups gathered in surrounding structures at the Olympic Park. The stadium was also used for District Conventions in 1988, and the latest in 2003, although the attendance was not as high.

The tower at the back of the stadium is the Montreal Tower, not completed until 1987. It is the world's tallest inclined tower.

 

 

The above plaque compares the Montreal Tower to other structures which are not perfectly vertical, such as the Tiger Hill Pagoda in China (3.0°), the Towers of Bologna, Italy (4.0° & 1.3°), Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa (3.97°), Bad Frankenhauser Church Tower in Germany (4.8°), the Suurhusen Church Tower in Germany (5.19°), Russia's Nevyansk Tower (3.0°), and "Big Ben" in the UK (0.26°).

 

 

Of course, it has to be in the Guinness World Records. The translated text at the lower right on the above plaque says "The Guinness World Records has conferred the following certificate on the Olympic Stadium Tower of Montreal. The tallest manmade leaning tower is the Montreal Olympic Stadium Tower, inaugurated in Montreal, Canada in 1987. It measures 165m (541ft 4.05in) and has a curved angle of 45 degrees. Completed in 1987, the tower is designed to support 75% of the weight of the roof of the stadium. A funicular built on two levels rides the tower up to the Observatory, located on the top three floors and where a panoramic view stretching up to 80km in every direction is offered. Each ascension takes less than 2 minutes."

 

 

The last photo includes the Montreal Biodome in the foreground.

As for the inclined tower, what do you think it is "inclined" to do?

Download this video clip to see the view from inside the cable car going up the spine of the tower. You have to wait until after the 40-second mark to see the view outside. The video was taken by myself.
