They may be selling off loads of Kingdom Halls, but Im sure they will building new ones as well. They have to, its the only way they can get money in, now that donations are drying up. So they sell off halls to make money, then build some more somewhere else with free labour.

Kingdom Hall Sales
by lastmanstanding invideo conferencing systems are being installed in kingdumb halls.
this is being charged to the congregations.. the ability to video conference, zoom, directly from the halls will now be the thing.. i believe that the current situation has given the wts an idea.. if there are two kingdom halls in an area, then one can be sold.. congregations will split the use, half using the hall one week and zooming the next and visa versa..

Whatever happens they have to be able to sell kingdom halls, but also need to get the sheep to build new ones with free labour. Only that way can they keep the money coming in

Hopefully this will make many JWs realize that there is no protection whatsoever from their imaginary god.

Yes that could be a good result for Watchtower. They dont want to get rid of Kingdom Halls, because they need to sell Kingdom Halls every so often to make money, as donations are not enough to keep the org going. By attending the hall just once a week they still can do that, and the mid week meeting can be streamed around the world, giving the governing body and even stronger hold of the JW members

A discovery concerning 1975 as I am going through old Watchtower literature
by lastmanstanding ini think everyone has heard about the video at the convention a few years back where an older ‘brother’ relates that “some were selling their homes” pre 1975, and it makes it look like the rank and file are stupid.
it shifts the blame to the r&f.
no mention of the km that advocated it.. and you have all seen the km that said it, and that it was the may 1974 km.. however, it was not.

There is a picture of the KM online where those infamous words were written. It says clearly it is May 1974. Maybe it was published in a different month in some countries."Yes, since the summer of 1973 there have been new peaks in pioneers every month. Now there are 20,394 regular and special pioneers in the United States, an all-time peak. That is 5,190 more than there were in February 1973! A 34-percent increase! Does that not warm our hearts? Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life?

I was privy to an irate phone witnessing conversation
by joe134cd ini happened to be privy to a phone witnessing conversation that my aged father was conducting, the person on the other end just climbed into him.
he got real nasty and my father ended up hanging up on him.
i could see that my father was distressed about it, but or course put it down to satan and persecution.

15 yrs ago Jehovah needed $50 million for new printing presses
by Hotpepper inwhat happened to all those new printing presses?
the wt said they were going to double the amount of mag's every month.

Watchtower were very slow to embrace the internet. So probably while other businesses were arranging togoing online, Watchtower were busy warning their members about the dangers of the internet. They would have had no idea that Watchtower online would take over most of their printing.
