Great! You are blessed! I did something like you. Management / Auditor / Advisor, a lot more I ever could dream of, with my lovely wife and children. The KH is no guarantee for a successful life!

The jw.org billions
by Gorbatchov in.
it is still strange, that an organization, lead by a group of old timers, is gaining billions at the moment, without giving any transparency and accountancy feedback, because these men "trust each other", and come away with that.. they got the property investment by the use of cohi associates, and deposit their liquid assets at the caymans.. it is clear: the real power behind the jw.org facade is securing his future.. don't get me wrong, i'm not insane, but more and more i got this strong gut feeling that some governmental organization has the real power.. gorby.

@ The Searcher, nice to hear i'm not the only one on this planet thinking this way.
I remember when I was a teenager, I became suspicious about government - jw.org connections.
For example, when the C.O. told us during his visit in +/- 1990 "Secretary of State, James Baker went of the airplane in an African country with much repression. The first thing he asked the local president was "So, you persecute Jehovah's Witnesses? We urge you to stop this immediately".
When I heard this my reaction was different then the rank and file JW, and considered there was a strong lobby from jw.org to the US government, or there was the option that the C.O. was speaking nonsense.
At this point in my life, I am thinking more and more that jw.org is one of the American organizations used by the American government for the implementation of their global U.S. interest.

They got the property investment by the use of CoHi Associates, and deposit their liquid assets at the Caymans.
It is clear: the real power behind the jw.org facade is securing his future.

The impact of all the scandals will be minimal.
I remember my own thoughts when I was an active JW:
- the world is against us, we have to expect persecution
- where else can I go?
- It's the best lifestyle for our children
- ok, maybe not everything is good, but it's still a life insurance
That makes that people will stay for years after the first doubts. We did also, isn't it?

BCG matrix - jw.org production model
by Gorbatchov intoday i read some old mba stuff on my bookshelf.
one of it is about the bcg matrix.. the matrix indicates the state of an business (merely production).
if you place the jw.org in the bcg matrix, the result will be "dogs", sometimes more friendly called "pets".. a business in the category "dogs / pets" is to be sold off / liquidated soon.. that's what we see at this moment by the wtbts / jw.org.

@sheperdless,
I have the following addition:
Printing will be outsourced to:
1) rank and file JW at home PC for the internal documents
2) commercial printing company's for PR documents like invintation and tracts.
The next decades they will hide with a small staff in the Hudson area and do the global internal communication with high speed internet connections.

Today I read some old MBA stuff on my bookshelf. One of it is about the BCG matrix.
The matrix indicates the state of an business (merely production). If you place the jw.org in the BCG matrix, the result will be "dogs", sometimes more friendly called "pets".
A business in the category "dogs / pets" is to be sold off / liquidated soon.
That's what we see at this moment by the wtbts / jw.org. They have no growth and no cash flow.
The cashflow from the selling of buildings is a one-off benefit.
It's a decline business. They are liquidating the old production model, the printing business.
The status of the organization today could be the Cash Cow state at his last, with the continuously milking of money, cash and assets and in a transformation to a "dogs / pets" fase, when the organization has retreated into the hills of the Hudson area.
