Given the recent financial crisis, it isn't $70 billion any more!
Whatever investments the WTS have, they will be hit hard too, but not as much, of course, as the LDS church.

it turns out the lds church has about $38b in stocks and mutual funds from major companies such as apple, microsoft, amazon, walmart and others.
they also have numerous dummy corporations to hold assests with a combined value of $32b.
mom and b’s book went to the publisher today.
it will not be available for purchase for maybe three weeks or so, a little later than hoped.
i’ve read it through twice.
12 hours ago someone resurrected a post by marvin shilmer from years ago.
it was then that i realized that i haven't seen a post from him for a while.
a check shows it's been 4 years.
on february 21, 2020, the wt society made the announcement in their website of the release of the new world translation in modern hebrew (hebrew scriptures - "tanakh") in haifa, israel.
now, the complete nwt is available in modern hebrew.. some time ago, a poster here said that releasing (in theory, i.e.
) the hebrew bible in a modern version, such as the nwt, would be irrational.
Thanks, Wonderment for the post.
Two reasons why a modern Heb. NWT makes sense:
1. Modern Hebrew ≠ ancient Hebrew. Languages are always changing, and not just with additional vocabulary. Look at how different KJV English or Shakespearean English is from modern English. That's only 400 years ago. Go back to Chaucer in the 14th century and then Boewulf before him, and the English is almost unrecognizable.
With biblical Hebrew we're talking 2000-3000+ years. I've spoken with modern Greeks and they tell me that they cannot understand the NT when it is read in modern Greek Orthodox services. It has changed that much in 2000 years.
2. It is much easier to control the R&F if you've got one translation issued by the authority of the organization they are all obedient to and trust.
We all know how the WTS is obsessed with control.
not so secret anymore!.

after the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.
well, here we go with "dracula" again!
