Editing Jehovah's Witnesses practices (section)

==Funding of activities==
Jehovah's Witnesses fund their activities, such as publishing, constructing and operating facilities, evangelism, and disaster relief via donations. There is no [[tithe|tithing]] or collection, but members are reminded to donate to the organization; Witnesses may provide an opportunity for members of the public to make donations as they encounter them in their preaching work. Donation boxes labeled for several purposes are located in Kingdom Halls and other meeting facilities. Generally there are contribution boxes for local operating expenses, a Kingdom Hall fund for helping Witnesses around the world to build Kingdom Halls, and a general fund for the "Worldwide Work", which includes the printing of literature, organization of conventions, supporting missionaries and disaster relief, and other operating expenses of the organization.<ref>''Our Kingdom Ministry'', Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, December 2003, p. 7</ref><ref>“A New Program for Kingdom Hall Construction”, ''Our Kingdom Ministry'', Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, September 1983, p. 4-5.</ref>

The accounts (including donations) and the financial operation of the local congregation are reviewed monthly and posted on a congregation notice board. Donations are also accepted via mail, and the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society can be named as a beneficiary to an estate, and also accepts donations in the form of life insurance policies, pension plans, bank accounts, certificates of deposit, retirement accounts, stocks and bonds, real estate, annuities and trusts.<ref>"Ways in Which Some Choose to Give Contributions to the Worldwide Work", ''The Watchtower'', November 1, 2006, page 20</ref>
