    Lacking access to good scholarship, Jehovah's witnesses and their Watchtower Society waste tens of millions of dollars (or, is it billions) building new Head Offices in the USA and other places - all at the very time that advances in IT technologies, etc, are raising doubts about the wisdom of having a traditional Head Office.

    And what about these Translation Offices all over the world? Have they not yet learned about Google Translate?

    Tsk, tsk, tsk, these would not be vacation resorts would they?

    The WT picked up almost a Billion $$$ getting out of NYC. It has to be invested somewhere.Stocks, bonds, etc do not have as high a return as investing in properties. Buy up 400 or so translation offices in prime locations. Then have them upgraded with unpaid help and sell for a profit when the time is right.
