THE INMENSE LOVE FOR MONEY OF THE WATCHTOWER CORP HAS NO LIMITS

The Watchtower published in the Awake magazine dated 8/01/03 page 27 as follows:

Likewise, the Christian brotherhood today includes people in a variety of economic circumstances. They all strive to follow the Bible’s guidance on money matters, as materialism can affect anyone. The lesson Jesus taught involving the rich young ruler alerts every Christian to the powerful hold money and possessions can have on a person.—Mark 4:19.

A Warning for the Rich

While wealth in itself is not condemned in the Bible, the love of money is. The Bible writer Paul said: «The love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things.» He noted that by forfeiting spiritual interests out of a desire to be rich, «some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.»—1 Timothy 6:10.
