Ironically, I think this whole branch closing thing might not be so bad for the WTS. It does encourage donations and sympathy, and serves as a distraction for the rank and file to spur them into doing more field service.
"Persecution" aside, what the hell does a religion only interested in the dispensation of truth need with acres of historical property and mansions?
If your message is truth and your practices are not cultish, you could operate out of the back of a van and have success - provided what you really care about is reaching people.
"Persecution" is police beating you with sticks, not having dishonestly-acquired property-wealth you DON'T FUCKING NEED confiscated.
The Watchtower, like Scientology, is reaping what it's sown. Period.

I hear what BTS is trying to say though.... I am not real comfortable with government poking in to the private sector ....however when it comes to crackpot religious organizations that are pulling the human race down with their teachings of hate and intolerance wrapped in a facade of love and happiness - I am okay with anything that limits their power, wealth and influence.
Peace to all,
