I wonder is that why they set up the Irish hedge funds. They know the Nations have signed an agreement with the UN recently, where they all have to fall in step with each other regarding future pandemics etc.
Whether they believe they'll be 'attacked' or simply legislated out of business, they've transferred all their dollars and real estate to foreign companies so they got a comfortable nest egg for themselves, whatever the future holds.
July 2013 Watchtower which says “In the larger fulfillment, the “standing” will occur when the United Nations (the modern-day “disgusting thing”) attacks Christendom (which is holy in the eyes of nominal Christians) and the rest of Babylon the Great.

And you are right that people come and go. Imagine all the sacrifices people now and in the past have made?
I wonder what some of the die-hards there think about everything: last year’s changes especially the biggie about no longer counting hours/time slips, and now these two younger GB members? I wonder what the older JWs there really think about their religion?
