Siddhashunyata,
That is a hard one. I can't decide between (2) and (3)
edit to be clear - I guess that should be between (2) and (2).

That's a toughie...I think it is a combination of (2) and (3) but they use (1) as the motivating force to "move" their followers.

Although it is interesting that both publishing and real estate have the #2, I meant real estate to be #3. Clear your minds and think about it. If you were running the WTBTS would you have the mind set of a minister, a publisher , or a real estate magnate?

Surely it is working its way up the scale.
Started out as (1), then moved on to (2), but no with the decline it is definitely (3), that's where all the money is !! -

I'm with Kep, I think their real estate holdings are worth far more on the open market than their publishing company would be.

Actually, the WTB&TS were not started as a religion, they were started by Charlie as a publishing company to publish his writings. The International Bible Students were actually the religion part, but they were really loose knit groups and not an organisation as the Jdubs are today. So actually the order that it developed would have been started out as a publisher(Charlies part)-then religion(Rutherfords part)-real estate(Rutherford/Knorr/Franz).
But what I really think the WTB&TS does is launder money, through the religion scam to fill their own pockets. One of these days I would not doubt to see them get caught importing some counterban stuff.
I mean come on they are above mans laws this is Jehobahs Org and these are his appointed ambassadors, who have imunity from mans laws.
