Even the dishonesty of calling it a donation... Maybe they don't call it that now but they did for years.
It's inconceivable that Paul or Peter would have put a price tag on their letters. It's just plane crazy and we were so drugged, drugged, drugged. It was surely us who were drinking the kool aid.

Lisbon and others reading on, I believe the "donation" is now $150 per person whether in person or via video. However your point is well taken. The matter of a "donation" being treated as a "fee". If attending was sincerely regarded as a donation, it wouldn't matter if your donation was $5 or $50.
To top it off Southern California localities don't give hospitality as they did when I was a young lad. Now you've got to pay for your lodging while you're at the training. While you're there, why not look up brothers and sisters in Anaheim who used to meet with the local churches as see how they're doing?
