The government wanted the WT shut down as well. THey found out that the WT teaches all it's members not to get an education, not to get any good paying job, to spend all their time placeing magazines and being window washers.
So they said, we'll make the cost of insurance, infact require insurance by law, increase the cost of living on everything, then the WT members won't have any spare money to donate and the WT will just fade away due to lack of money.
So the WT after the economy and all cost of living going through the roof the past few years, plus some lawsuits, is suddenly cash starved. They try selling their most expensive properties, etc.
THen they start asking and finding every way to get it's members to pay more donations. They are dumbfounded how after years of telling them not to get good income paying jobs, and have a career as a window washer, why they can't payout more in donations. They can't understand why people need food, insurance, and basic life neccessities.
Their own teachings have backfired on them and if nothing else, will be the end of them.
