Also, many RTOs will also contain a recording studio and other necessary equipment that can't be stored in a house of a worker.

Just in case some people may complain, the society should take the most expensive option? If people want to volunteer their time on their own terms, what’s the problem? Like I said, the society should adapt the workload based on the volunteers, not the other way around.

Richard Oliver, millions of youtubers out there disprove the need for a studio as it was the case 10+ years ago.

Again no one on here knows if it is the expensive option or not? No one here knows how much it actually cost. It may have been a donated building and land? It could be that they got a much cheaper option than anything else they found. Again no one here knows for sure, it is just guessing and it is clouded guessing.

It is a lot cheaper to have a Welsh speaking person from Wales to fly to Bethel Germany with all the recording equipment, or even to New York or to bethel UK. You do not need a mansion for RTO. I really would like to see a RTO in say far east or Africa.
If you have to lay off so many special pioneers and bethel staff to save money, you DO NOT spend money on a mansion for RTO only. That is what I call an investment under the umbrella of an RTO. In many countries congregations have to travel more because they are merge with another congregation to share one kh. Assemblees are held in far distant locations, to save money (though the R&F need to spend a lot more on travel costs). Until now, they did not care to translate their 2013 NWT into Dutch, with some 35000 publishers....
So....purely a money game here.

The letter says: advise you that the Teaching Committee of the Governing Body has
granted approval for the Memorial discourse and special talk to be prerecorded in Welsh for use on
JW Stream.
So, this blows away the argument that the gb is not controlling the WBTS (was that not Losch who said this...)

If you know how much they paid for the building then please provide proof of it. If you don't then you are guessing as to how much it did cost.

Richard Oliver: If they building was donated (which could be the case after all), why not sell it? Not even our Lord Jesus Christ have a place to lay his head, yet, he had money for the poor!
Watchtower has plenty of Real Estate and a little money for the poor (they do help with disasters here and there).
Just like plenty of religions, they have their priorities upside down.
The truth is supposed to live in their heart, not tabernacles, but they keeps building and buying properties.

There is a legal definition of control over a corporation. The governing body does not have seats on the board of directors, nor are they voting members of the corporation. Technically the directors of the corporation can tell the GB to go and screw off if they wanted too, from a legal point of view. It is does the person have legal control over an organization or are they an employee of that corporation. The only thing that the GB are members of is the ROSFSJW.
