But where does it go? On what are they spending it?
Can't be on new kingdom halls, since they "loan" the money to the congregations? Can it really cost $950 million dollars a year to print magazines and books? (I got that figure from an article on the Top 40 NYC corporations which noted that as their revenue). They're certainly not using it charitably! So where is the money? Follow the money......
Good question. Its not like the governing body wives can use it to live like Imelda Marcos.
Maybe theyre investing it all in the Dow Jones.
