They say all sorts of things, that are not true. They are not at all united. Each year 100,000 or more leave the org because they dont agree with the governing body in some area or areas. Many more stay, but just dont voice their disagreements.

Their current strategy seems to merge congregations, and then sell the spare hall. Then after a reasonable amount of time, they say this congregation is getting too big, so we need to build a new hall.
That can be done all round the world using free labour, which after all is the biggest cost in building a meeting hall.

This woman is crazy. I recently unsubscribed to her channel, because she speaks such rubbish. How on earth she thinks Watchtower is going down because one small country has a mortgage on something, completely beats me. Im sure donations are way down in uk, as there has been no increase in publishers in the last 4 years. But they can get their money by selling off Kingdom Halls, which they are doing.
Once the Mill Hill site is sold, Watchtower will be back in the money again.

There is another thread about this subject. But any magazine that is given away free of charge is going to have a much higher printing than one where you have to pay for it.

The good news is that donations are down worldwide. The bad news is that Watchtower gets their money now by closing Kingdom Halls and selling them, and making local witnesses share another hall miles away. Then a few years later they will tell the JWs they need to have their own hall now, so they build another one with free labour. And so it goes on and on.

I for one wont watch it any more. The Dr is man, not a woman. The original script writers wanted it that way. Just like other books or tv characters are women. 'Charlies Angels' comes to mind. Should the angels suddenly become men lol. What about Jane Eyre, should she suddenly become a man if a film is made about her or a tv program? Totally stupid.

Where do we rate WatchTower or Awake!
by dydeonwl ini'm astonished to read that watchtower leads the list of magazines and awake!
is in competition for ranking.

Anyone who gives away a magazine, clearly has a massive advantage over a magazine that has to be paid for. Watchtower knows that most witnesses dont ask for a donation from householders and that the individual witness pays for the magazines by donating their own money each month.

Hopefully with less money at stake, Watchtower will pay up without appealing the judgement. -

Most JWs will simply see it as fake news and persecution of their religion. There will however be some who take it seriously and look into it further, and hopefully they will make their exit from the cult.
