So they asked all the Kingdom Halls for all the money in their savings account and then make them give a monthly payment for the rest of their life. The reason for this was because the in-gathering is so great, that they need to build, build, build!
Now the massive building will stop.
How will they explain their way out of this situation without raising suspicion on October 3 annual meeting?
What can they possibly say?
Who says they will tell everyone they have stopped building? Either way they might say they are simplifying things at bethel so that more can devote themselves to the ministry. (I fully realize that if you spend more time in the ministry and get more recruits you need more facilities, but that is logical and the message is not).
I really don't think people will bat much of an eye. They sure didn't with the 2014 funding scam.
Watchtower statement: "Soon, very soon, your new Kingdom Hall will be built."
Rank-and-File JW's: "Oooh, we're getting a new Kingdom Hall."
Evidently it's an overlapping Kingdom Hall building program. The generation that gave the money, and heard the announcement, will overlap the generation that will actually be alive when the building commences.
