It may be about merging their assets into a more "manageable" package. Just a guess, but simplifying money control is the ultimate goal, imo. Of course with Bethel it is never discussed for what it really is, they have a handy "smooth word" smokescreen ready for all "adjustments". (Dan11:32a) But in reality, imo, the whole corporation is being packaged for liquidation over a few years of "attack of King North" or whatever illusion they want to present to JWs, to cover up, as usual, the real motive and objective.
People sometimes forget a billion+ in JW dollars and assets, guarded by sleeping JW guards, is an incentive to those who can easily appear to be JWs from within. It is not that surprising really, what is surprising is if it was not eventually pillaged, it seems like the stealing candy and the baby scenario.
Too bad JWs in organizational positions (and in general) could not compare global notes on these kinds of recent "adjustments", JWs have no form of external communications, they are relying on the Bethel switchboard filter. Thus strange anomalies, that may just be coincidence, are ignored, but in the cluster they are actually forming globally, another explanation may also be valid.
Making it more suspect is of course the Bethel "self fulfilling prophecy" where they actually could implode Bethel in a corporate sense, and sell that to JWs as "the end", and even call off the ministry from Bethel's own mouth. But in reality the corporate takeover is what would be completing, the world system will continue, and JWs will be left with the empty bag riddle, just trying to keep a hall roof over their head.
When we put all the pieces and dots together, it seems more is going on in the Bethel re-alignments than meets the eye, and is beyond the reasons they tell JWs they are doing these things, if even any sleeping JW should get a wild hair and even ask the simple question. Meaning most JWs have not even detected the thief, and when they did they said nothing, imo, overall. It is controlled by fear, by a GB group that developed not one single item from classic JWs of the past, and in modern JWs they are clearly a basic leadership based apostasy and global reproach.
Ultimately that is the only GB management experiment "innovation". They take credit for, and control, a ministerial system that had nothing to do creating. They are two face actors, imo. There are many red flags that if listed start to paint the real picture of what is coming on Bethel. That Bethel also has diligently prepared and maintains a nice exit hoax for JWs, just reinforces the need to just keep an eye on that den of robbers. JWs are not to blame as sluggish as they are, they are the target victims, the cash cow to put to pasture in the long run.
Like the writing on the wall, it is there for all to see, but not all are interpreting it, as obvious as it is. Most JWs are the ones not even seeing the writing.
