Yes, the ability to re-invent yourself, or carve out a niche for yourself, can preserve you, albeit in an altered form.

Corporations can live indefinitely and no doubt, they can conserve cash and continue to layoff and cutback.
However, they still need a business to be in! And I don't think print media is going anywhere but down and gone. Meanwhile, they look more and more like Gulliver getting tied down by dozens of Lilliputians fighting, undermining, subverting, faking, suing and wrecking their reputation.
And if they try to move their "ministry" to the internet, who needs a door to door work? Servers take their place.
They have real estate. Perhaps they retire to it.....

I think it is ironic (not totally sure if that is the correct word) but in the Middle Ages the printing press saw a decline in the power and prestige of the Roman Catholic Church.
I have consistently said in this forum since I joined in 2003, that the internet will prove (when history is written) to be a huge nail in the coffin (not necessarily the total demise) of the WTBTS.
It is all about control - control of information, and the Internet is all about free flow of information.
Even the WTBTS has started using it more - downloads of WTs, etc. As the OP -Metatron has pointed out - it totally has changed publishing/printing in general - so even magazines/periodicals/newspapers (even porn) are struggling. We are in a brave new world. Watch this space

Guess what DARPA is working on next? (they invented the prototype of the original internet as ARPANET).
Why does this fascinate me?
"and there is nothing at all that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them" (Gen. 11)
Computer translation? 'Watson' on Jeopardy? Could the internet become sentient? In the near future? And replace 'God in Heaven'?

well if it operates on logic, a sentient Internet might well decide that all religion is in the category of fiction and change how it is stored and presented to humans who ask It for religious information.
