It is my view through observation and through my personal experience that many religious organisations exploit their congregations financially, either directly or indirectly.[/b]
You probably also don't get the story in the bible of the widow giving her last few coins to promote God's will do you?

"I am not part of the brotherhood..."
"I don't do the work Jesus told you to do..."
"I don't get it..."
"I don't understand Jesus parables..."

...and the JW organisation were so grateful to the poor people for building the valuable real estate that it paid them minimum wage for all their hard work.
