Many practices of different religions come from what their members deem to be Bible principles.(tithing, for instance) The witnesses do not pass a collection plate unless things have changed since the last time I attended a meeting. They have a box in back where you can quietly contribute or not. Most people understand that there are bills to be paid in connection with maintaining their meeting halls, paying for lights and heat etc. In addition they will contribute to supporting missionaries while on location in the different areas of the world. No one is required or hounded to contribute and no one would unless they believed in what the witnesses were doing.
I believe the Bible tells people to wear their clean white outer garments to worship. I suppose that meant the best they had. Some people want it ok to wear their yard clothes to church, but I don't think it shows proper respect for God or the occasion.
The time hasn't come yet when many of the things you mention will take place.
The issue of proper attire for the Kingdom Hall is one example of the legalistic tendencies of the JW's.
