I certainly think they do have financial difficulties, and the shortcuts you mentioned could be proof of that. Add to those the cutbacks in the bethel family and there signs are all there.

I do not think they are in financial difficulty but I believe they are preparing for something. Will it take another member of the Governing Body to leave (like Franz) for us to know what is going on?

I don't know, but considering how often they reminded us over the years to 'support interests of the kingdom' would fit quite nicely into what you just described. As Bond would say "The world is not enough"
They will get as many b/s to use their own time and resources to help jack up the WTS, the amount of unpaid work and time that the b/s do for Bethel, quick builds, literature placements (we pay and never get a cent back usually as we don't ask for donations, but our conscience makes us pay for the literature of the WTS) the cleaning of the halls, maintenance, petrol shoe money and the list goes on, now we do this out of love for God hopefully, and should not complain then, God love a cheerful giver, we are always reminded of that.
Now we have four contribution box's in the KH, an extra one was put in about six months ago, this was for the international KH building, but the other box was supposed to be for the World wide work, so they have to box's supposedly for the same thing but under a different name. They should just say the fourth box is for monies back from payments to child abuse victims. But that of course would cause a riot, or would it.
So I only give for literature and KH for electricity and other things, that's it.
It's just odd that Christ would go to the trouble of handing over all his Earthly interests to a group that is now SELLING OFF HIS PROPERTY!
