    A huge country just took all their assets (that they didn't hide first). Another, Australia might soon get some. Other countries are examining their credibility as tax free entities or tax supported entities.

    I have some hope, but mostly am counting on attrition to kill them off like shakers. They will outlive me, but maybe not my grandkids.

    Russia tried shipping them to Siberia, when they were very small, and failed at getting rid of them.

    Im sure seizing buildings will be more effective.

    Acording to the watchtowers OWN website in 2012 the watchtower closed 20 branch offices around the world

    Also on the watchtowers own website there is a video of sam hurd (one of the governing body, the world leaders of the watchtower) telling people in one of the AGM videos that the watchtower was not only going to kick people from bethel out but also loads of pionners with loads of different titles that were full time on field service ie getting a small amount of money but they would be having the money stopped.I can you all the details of how to find out all this both on the jw website but also their video section

    Please, bethelites were well aware and accepted the fact that the organization uses them at their discretion. That being said, they are sent out and recalled to bethel when needed.

    In other words, the organization reserves the right to keep them there or not.

    The organisation "uses" Bethelites.

    Got that right Bob.

    Some booted bethelites round here crying away after years of service and their best years given. Didn't take 'em long to start answering up saying what a blessing it is like an abused wife with stockhom syndrome as they chuck the meds down their necks and begin to wash windows and wonder where their retirement fund is going to come from.

    Then don’t go to Bethel. It’s really quite that simple.
