no the wt borg is not closing!

that's wild dreaming!

they have been changing directions for a while now, and for whatever reasons, what is happening now is a part of that change!

I don't agree with this at all. Of course they counted the costs of construction. Something happened along the way that made them have to put a sudden halt on this. Remember, this issue happen AFTER they received 500 million in sales from property. That is VERY, VERY telling.
Also, a lot has changed since 2001. Many, many more people are using the internet, for example, which has been probably the greatest demise for the JWs.
Even Lett said that more money was going out then was coming in.
Yes, they still have a ton of property that will keep them going for sometime. How much time that will buy them I don't have an opinion on yet.

DoC - Honestly, IMO, just DA'ing yourself is sometimes a lot better of an option. Having to constantly look over your shoulders in case someone "catches" you, gets really old, really quick. It sucks.
Also, as far as the herding cats comment... I've seen that a lot on this forum in the past. Definitely a true statement. That's why:
A. I think there needs to be a central person to move the process along. Maybe even gathering info to do the actually sending of letters out, and;
B. I feel like the general feel for where people are at on this forum has changed from years prior. People seem, imo, to be more ready and more wanting to have a clean(er) break of this cult.
Please note: I'm not saying I'm right, this is just my opinion.

Defiant - Good idea! If anyone needs funds to do this, could we set some sort of donation thing up? Or, could there be a central person that would want to help this along that we could donate to?
Idk, just throwing ideas out there...

many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

Cappy - so, by implementing this it will just make their expenses lower? Their stream of income would still stay the same, right?

How do they make money off it? I'm guessing there's no outside advertising doing commercials and such...
