I think the WTS has already taken steps to deal with the profitability on the printing operations. Much cheaper books, cut back on new releases, eliminate 1 issue of Awake, 1 public/ 1 private WT (not sure the # of copies printed but I think its around 25m for the public edition and probably only 7.5m for the private), special tract campaigns instead of really pushing the new books, laying off staff and cutting back the book study from 1 hour to 25 min which will mean it takes longer to cover a book.
If their printing operations were profitable, they would not have made those changes. Perhaps they're now to close to break even, I have no idea and since they don't publish numbers in the US, neither does anyone else. However, their behavior does not indicate a corporation that is rolling in the dough. My perception is that while they have plenty of assets, their cash flow needs improvement. What really sealed it for me was the fairly recent letter to the BOEs (that was reported here) where they pressured the local congos to send in all excess cash. They've always had the "funds on hand with the Society" mechanism but the "counsel" was very strong and I'm sure that was followed up by CO pressure. The congo that I attend dutifully voted to send in the funds for a remodeling project to the WTS where it generates zero interest for the locals.
My sense is that they will go to a more streamlined approach. I really think the WT will be a private only edition that will be downloaded and printed locally and that the Awake will be eliminated. I also think the KM will be downloaded or incorporated into the WT. The "ministry" will consist of tracts and the like with books still being part of the deal but not being offered on the initial visit or as part of a campaign.
