In 2004 I got to see the presses. Very large and complicated to run. One of the people who helped run it said they could only run it half speed. They did not have the experience to run it full speed. A lot of money spent on nonsense. Still Totally ADD

jehovah doesnt use money. he created everything. if he wanted to--he could write a message in the sky for all to see.
however, a self appointed "conservative christian sect ( what ?? ) " claiming to be his sole channel of communication with mankind will have to make do with machines and paper.

Here is a press release from 2003 from the supplier MAN Roland who had an order for 7 of these humongous presses. Where are they now?
http://whattheythink.com/news/17031-watchtower-society-orders-seven-lithoman-presslines-man/
And then a printing industry article mentioning the worldwide purchase of 7 more of these machines and the fact that the London based one was put up for sale. Oh dear!

All or nothing
They sold them off to pay for SBA hush money and lawyer fees- I would imagine

I think about where that wasted 50 million came from.
The little girl that puts half of weekly allowance of 50 cents in the contribution box for the "world wide work" so she can get a smile from her delusional parents.
The old sister that doesn't have enough money to fix her bad teeth but puts a percentage of her SS check in the same box every month.
People like my stupid mother that left it all to the Watchtower Bible and Truck society, when she died and nothing to her kids.

The WT Goons are about as investment savvy (other than the real estate gurus' strategies) as the federal gov't with the Chi Cons. Politicians scored YUGE monetarily/filthy rich enjoying their lucrative businesses/pay offs at the expense of human lives sacrificed -- how many thousands of Americans now begging for food and medicines in US - how many JWs out of work, living at the poverty level to enrich the lives of their cult leaders. WT still begging from adherents - corrupt politicians of the federal gov't still defending China re/their wealth.
1234 - amazing parents' love for fantasies over their children. Brainwashing so dangerous it masks all reality.

@hoser, these are the not visible jw's with well connections, getting better of the commercial side of the religion.
In these times the jw property, pr and broadcasting advisors.

The WTS said not long a go that they would need more money to build a lot more kingdom halls, right after they made a huge profit win fall in selling all of its held properties in Brooklyn New York. (2 Billion US )
The reality was the JWs attendance is going down in most modernized countries so Kingdom halls are being sold along with its many branches.
The fact remains is that the WTS heads (GB) lied about the organization's financial state under a premise of self assertive greed .
Yes brothers and sisters we are so much in need of money we are now asking JWs children to give up their money their parents gave them for candy.
