What is the financial situation of the Jehovahs witnesses?

Answer 1

I don't know the financial status of all congregations and organization. However, I can assure you that 'Jehovah's Witnesses' is a most transparent religious organization, as every congregation will make and announce the financial situation and expenditure of their congregation once a month.

A Ministerial Servant (a baptised male with certain privileges and responsibilities in the congregation) will read out an accounts report that details the incomings and outgoings of the congregation for the previous month.

So, everyone, including non-witnesses who attend the congregation, can know the financial situation of that specific congregation.

It is not just the local congregation financial situation and expenditure that is reported. Large meetings (which are called Conventions and Assemblies) which are held thrice a year will report their financial situation and expenditure to all the attendants. So, as with congregation meetings, the public that attended the large meetings will know the financial situation of Jehovah's witnesses.

Since Jehovah's witnesses do good and handsomely in small financial reports, they will be honest and transparent in all other major financial reports. (Luke 16:10)

When it comes to the financial status of the head quarters of Jehovah's Witnesses, the transparency is practically non-existant. As far as I remember, every year in their yearbook, they mention how much money the head quarter spends in printing their literature and supporting their volunteer personnel. Yet I do not remember ever seeing them mentioning how much money the head quarter receives in donations.

The Watchtower often prints on their literature suggestions on how to make donations, yet never tell anyone who donated money how to request a detailed expenditure account of how these funds were used.

Answer 2

Jehovah witness is a religion to a certain type of culture. i know it doesn't seem like that but when i first ask that question that what the teacher told me, but that's the only meaning for it.

_ i love never stop

Jehovah's Witnesses do not and have never ever passed around collection boxes/baskets at their meetings. They are not under the Mosaic law so are not asked to tithe any percentage of their income or material assets. They follow the scriptural counsel to give what they can, willingly, out of appreciative heart. They have a small box or two attached to the wall at their Kingdom Hall if they wish to do this.
