Vidiot has it pretty much right...
With the addition of that all of the efforts taking place are being done to help sustain long-term solvency.

So Why Do They Need The Money?
by konceptual99 inso, as well reported, the latest jw broadcasting show is all about giving money.
as far as the wt society goes they have been pretty candid about there not being enough funds to meet the expenditure.
there are plenty of views on if this is really the case or not but underlying this is why are they spending so much money?.

prologos - "No, i am convinced there is no creator, and there is no "(yet") likely.
That is not an atheist's position. That is like saying "I am convinced there is no tooth fairy". I don't need to explain that. An atheist simply understands that no evidence exists for such an all knowing omniscient being. The burden of proof lies with the believer to prove such a being exists. An atheist is "convinced" of nothing.
No one saying there is no "possibility" of such a being.

Perry - The dozens of cosmological constants, some of which I listed, that make our universe infinitesimally unlikely are not disputed by science.
Really? The Einsteinian concept of a cosmological constant was debunked in the 1920s when Hubble postulated an inflationary universe.
The only modern understanding of such, is a constant known as Lamda-CDM, which makes allowances for inflation and dark energy.
Can you at least be current, and not resort to 100 year old understandings of science?

Ecan6 - And again with the 1400 kingdom hall that need to be build or have major repairs.
That number may be ambiguous, however I think this has much more to do with what they are not telling you. The new hall design, (large commercial buildings), and the overall more regional approach to how circuits, and districts are divided, strongly implies that they may very well need 1400 "new" halls, but at the expense of several thousand smaller local ones they are going to sell down the road.
Again, I stress this is about capital project dollars. They are pushing for revenue, so they don't need to depend on the sale of properties in order to build first. They will sell later, but when they determine they can make the most money on the properties.
The long term objective is lower operating expenses, because they know their business model is not eternally sustainable. They have done nothing but cut, cut, cut for the last 25 years since moving to a "donation" arrangement. This caught up to them, so now they need to make big changes in how business is run, in order to sustain solvency long-term.

Yes, this was because a civil case was brought against Jimmy Swaggart over sales tax. The legal precedent had been set, and WT knew their time was limited. -

Jehovah's Witnesses mentioned on BBC News site regarding not voting
by defender of truth injehovah's witnesses.
there are about 140,000 jehovah's witnesses in the uk who will choose not to vote on 7 may.. mark o'malley, a spokesman for the christian-based religious movement, said: "as you go through the bible we see that god's kingdom is already established in heaven with god as the king of that kingdom.. "we are politically neutral as, in a sense, we have already chosen to support that kingdom's government.
we see it as a real government.. "there are limitations to what governments can do, maybe they can improve the health system, but they can't prevent death, maybe they can help children, but they can't provide a secure future for them necessarily.

There is a load of bullshit it I ever saw it. The only secure future I know of is my doing. No thanks to some "Kingdom".
