Actually this wouldnt be the end of it all, as the question of the WT Society's assets would be played out in courts for many years. We would have to figure out an equitable way to divide the money for those who have been robbed by this cult.
Trying to figure out how to divvy up the loot would be tricky, so I propose that all of the money (many billions) be put in a trust fund (interest bearing) and the money be used for countering the other remaining cults.
Give other groups of cult victims the money to run mass marketing campaigns and buy advertising, something that we as XJW's lack. I would consider it a gift to the world.
If the Watchtower ceased to exist right now, what would this mean for you?

For those of you who dont like the idea of giving money to other groups, I have another plan.
Take part of the money, put it into a trust fund for college scholarships for former JW, and another part of it into a fund to help physically disabled XJW's.
Take all of the Kingdom Halls and let the fire departments burn them to the ground for training exercises, have the left over land turned into a park with a big placard that reads: "This park is dedicated in memory to those who lost their lives and loved ones to the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses" -

Yes it would mean a lot for me, mainly security for me because i would know my mum would have no ability to go back nevermind just leaving it.
It means a better future for a lot of others too.

Actually, do you mean if the secular authorities banned the WTS? That's been done before and JWs just go underground and surface later. This week's WT study article even discusses that. JWs would just view it as one more step towards the end since they predict that Gog of Magog, Satan, will turn on the WTS after the UN or the militant portions of the UN destroy Babylon the Great, all "false religion" that is all religion but the WTS.
If all religions were destroyed, I would worry that the integrity of the Constitution had been seriously compromised.

If the Gov't was the entity to ban or dismantled the WTBTS, the WTBTS would only go underground to resurface later, and they would get their confirmation of persecution, gaining more credibility.
It would be like cutting out only the surface of a tumour, and it metastazsizes.
The only way people would get their eyes opended is if the WTBTS was exposed & publically taken to court for all the blood on their hands, all the money they have taken, and for their propaganda of lies,
and if they openly admitted to publishing fraudulent prophesies.
If that day ever happened, I would be OVERJOYED!
