    Ezekiel3 posted an interesting tidbit about Max Larson stopping the printing...

    President of the WTBTS Max Larson formally stops the press at Jehovah's Witnesses' printery in Brooklin, NY. Pictured below is press #4. With the sale of the Furman Street building and shipping methods changed to road freight, JWs seems posed to evacuate their Brooklin headquaters. JW have also been beefing up their worldwide branches, including a large facility in Brazil, to decentralize their publishing empire.

    I was just wondering, if the WTS makes more use of road freight, and gas prices really spiral, how will they fare financially? Then, consider all the trucks which stop at the Kingdom Halls/brothers homes, with the magazines etc.

    Makes you think...

    Doesn't the WTS use the postal service to ship some of their stuff. I know they don't maintain their own trucks like they used to.

    If they could only find a way to harness all of their "Hot Air" into energy, they wouldn't have to worry about it!

    The WTS passes more hot gas than all the automobiles in the world combined. Windbags! It's even affected the ozone layer!

    Any burdens incured by the Watchtower will be carried by the local dubs. It's always been that way, why change now?
