Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a German Christian media outlet's report on a ZDF television documentary investigation into Jehovah's Witnesses' finances, read directly, stating that very little is known about the organization's finances and that the German headquarters in Selters did not disclose how many donations it receives annually when asked directly by the broadcaster's journalists. A documented instance of the German branch declining to disclose a specific figure on request, not itself a financial figure. Citation
