Probably (be told to) view it as a good thing.

Definitely sounds like a scheme. WT cult has expertise in that area.

Perhaps the total number includes congregations, as well as circuits, districts, zones, and branch so as to patch up any loopholes in the prosecution's targets. WT is nothing but thorough in its attempts to mitigate responsibility.

To be honest. I live in a country very closely connected with Australia, both geographically and politically. Most PIMI are unaware of this.

The really interesting part that, IMO, needs to be focused on more...
...is that the only penalty for not signing up was - to my knowledge - loss of "charity status".
Thing is, the only benefit they really obtain from charity status is... tax exemption.
So, why TF would the Org show its throat to "Satan's World" for something so minor?
Unless...
...financially, their business model has basically become unsustainable without it...
...i.e., the WTS has essentially become dependent on its tax-exemption to survive.
And make no mistake...
...the Org's continued survival is of absolute paramount importance to them...
...not only because - for the WT leadership - this is their very livelihood... but also because if the Org did not survive, it would be the ultimate proof that the WTS is NOT "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization".
And that cannot be permitted to happen under any circumstances...
...because based on over a hundred years of internal stated standards and rhetoric, there's virtually no reason or justification for the WTS to even exist (let alone provide incentive for your average rank-and-filer to even be a Jehovah's Witness in the first place).
In my opinion, the real problems will come when the actions they feel they have no choice but to take to survive...
...can't help but undermine the Organizational claim.
