termite: you bet...if Jehovah has finished the ingathering work of disciples then the New System must be at the doorstep, just around the corner, etc. etc. Perhaps then they can parallel this to the three and a half year delay before Jerusalem's destruction by the Romans....see......seee.........
Very well this could be the spin they put on it, and they could say that Jehovah is directing them to divest of assets and other non-essentials and outsource stuff back to the old world that is passing away...
Meanwhile, with office space at a huge premium post Sept 11, they can rake in major dough with valuable Brooklyn downtown office real estate assets. These they'd probably NOT sell, for the time being.
Since they believe to inherit everything anyway, there'll be plenty resources to 'go round for the three million left after the great trib. They could all move to Canada where there's lots of clean water, wood, good growing land, livestock, etc.
Why three million? Well, they admit that even among them there exist "unfaithful" ones living double lives...let's peg that at half give or take...allowing for apostate infiltrations.
