I have been reading this forum for umpteen years and have heard of so many ways that the Watchtower is making money.
Would you mind contributing to help me compile a list?
To start:
1) International Conventions
Overcharging the flock and keeping the proft.
UUN
Circuit leasing.
Hedge funds.

Stock market?
Long ago: "Mandatory" parking tickets at the District Convention.... Tacoma Dome, Washington, USA
More recently: Disaster zones, rebuilding the brother's homes for "free", then sticking their hands out for the insurance check.
The World Wide Work fund
The new Building Fund
Selling real estate ( cashed already about 1 billion alone in New York the last decade)
Furthermore they inherit fortunes and homes of deceased members
How about "suggesting" the friends will their estate to the WTBTS, along with instruction on how to do so.... I think that is printed frequently isn't it?
One thing that never gets mentioned is the fact any cash held in banks creates accumulative interest. $$$$
Back in the old days of the WTS, literature sales made for its most profitable portion of what the WTS drew in.
Now its real estate buying and selling this includes Kingdom Halls.
The selling off of Branches around the world including the HQ in Brooklyn New York has grossed more than a Billion US recently.
