Religion is a business in the God commodity market

    Bottom line money not God. To grow a religion you need money and suckers who fall for your particular line of logic.

    Take away it's money to take away it's power. The Ceos of the Watchtower Corporation are running the religion/business into the ground because they can't make good business decisions and are caught in a awful web of delusions of grander and blind to the realities of the real world.

    The watchtower ship is sinking in it's own excrement.

    @ Brokeback Watchtower,

    "To grow a religion you need money and suckers who fall for your particular line of logic."

    I disagree. There are many religions, like Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism and many others that seem to have come into existence without money playing a crucial role.

    Village Idiot, I was about to say the exact same thing. Many cults and religious groups have come into existence and stayed without a high influx of money.

    If the WTBTS were to go completely bankrupt tomorrow, it would not affect their membership one iota, and would in fact probably strengthen it because they would view it as being persecuted in Satan's world.

    The Society has a lot of power over their members because the rank and file give them that power willingly.

    Yes I couldn't agree more. I recently went to a pentecostal church service, and money was very much the topic of the service. But on saying that they did do a lot for the community. It will be interesting to see if the great 8 are willing to let it crash and burn or weather they will try and do something about it.
