With the Charter in place and it's appeal to the rights and responsibilities of membership, it seems odd to me that Family members haven't asked leadership for an accounting of their tithes and other Family income from tapes, literature, etc. Especially with the current restructuring of The Family, it seems like the hard-working rank-and-file would be thinking about the need for a financial disclosure from leadership.
Let's face it: The FGs are getting older and less productive, there are fewer and fewer SGs to support the FGs in their declining years, and top leadership--primarily Peter Kelly--are putting on the screws to increase productivity...as he puts it, there is a need for the Homes to show signs of "real, tangible fruit."
If I had given 30 years of my life to this outfit, I'd be asking about my investment. If you're 50+ and suspect that Jesus isn't coming back in the foreseeable future, you have to wonder where all that money you raised for the cause has gone. Especially if you find yourself sleeping on the floor because you don't have a bed in your newly reclassified Home: FGs must wonder why they still have put their achey, tired old bodies through this kind of sacrifice when there's no evidence the leadership is doing without.
