Hey, if they go all batsh** crazy, just short of Jonestown, they still get what they want. They have all these properties and over the next few years seem to be on a building boom(by their accounts) that will be accomplished with as much donated land, materials and labor as they can squeeze out of folks, they are preparing JWs to fully expect to be meeting in basements wearing JEANS, no less(!), they want your money, they demand obedience, the ask you to do dumb ass things (not logical to normal human beings). So a bunch of people drop out. The leavers have no recourse to keep or sell the buildings so they are SOL. The org consolidates the congregations over the next few years and sells hall after hall after hall. At some point, they create a crisis point and convince all JWs they are being persecuted(or they might be persecuted-who knows what kind of crap the WT will pull to accomplish it?). The last few halls head for the basements. They decide that halls are superfluous and gradually (as the economy dictates the best timing) sell off all the halls. They won't have many JWs left, but the residual wealth will keep chosen ones in luxury and comfort for generations to come without another donation to speak of. In the meantime, the elders will move/disappear and records will vanish and make it difficult to prosecute congregations that no longer exist. Brothers that are no longer brothers will be considered hostile witnesses and the WT will get out of all kinds of trouble since the prosecution will have a hell of a time getting any records. So, they will have their luxury residences for Bethelites while the rest of the JWs are supporting their lifestyle while meeting in basements or rented halls because all the KHs got sold off.
