And then there's the verses in II Corinthians about a cheerful giver. Hard to be cheerful when you understand the organization to be as your comment described. However, it IS available to be a cheerful giver when one has an abundance of money and is thoughtful (conscious) about finding places to give where you can feel confident that good works will be accomplished with what you donate. I really never saw that to be the case with twi. A full 40 years ago, while stationed overseas in the US military, I had actually started to save some money for when I finished my active duty. But, because a fool and his money were soon parted, twi had my savings before I became a civilian. It wasn't difficult to talk a 20-year old airman out of money on the basis of "it will help move the word over the world." A noble goal. But this (then) twenty-year old didn't have much understanding of the ways of the world and lecherous cult leaders in 1975.
