ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.
honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.
to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.
the thing that will really make the r&f take notice i think is when they start selling the 3,000 kingdom halls off.
Because ive had jws telling me that rather than printing magazines the watchtower is using the money to translate the web sites into other lanuages BUT when they start making more cuts and cuts that affect the jws on the ground ie selling kingdom halls off that must really help to wake people up

The watchtower has been collasping since 2012 when acording to their own website they sold 20 branch offices around the world and since then the cuts have been non stop.
people might ask where all the money is going,i would suggest that if you have a look at the number of branch offices that the watchtower still has about 30that are in 3rd world countries where people dont have as much money as we do in the west.and if each branch office is short of $250,000 per year or more of course then wether you have $1 billion or $2 billion it is using that money up.And even in the west if sombody is being a good jw then they are not working to bring money in so that they can give it to watchtower but they are spending many hours a month walking the streets or standing behind a cart
not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.
but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.
so they still have to cut the grass etc.
It shows that even with all the cuts they have been making that if they have to do what fredo was talking about then the watchtower must be short of money
ever since i became an exjw activist... i have wondered, how many people can i hope to reach?.
what are the odds that my parents and loved ones will live out the remainder of their lives as jehovah´s witnesses?.
is there a way to calculate the odds that any jw will remain a jw for the rest of their lives?.
so this morning i'm walking to my office and there's the jws on their carts outside as usual.
and old sister, a brother in his 20s and an elder i instantly recognized from my jw days.
one of my best friends of about 20 years.. i genuinely just wanted to say hi as i havent seen him in 3 years.
Itook five of those magazines today from a cart and trashed them,if i can save just one person going through what you and others like you have gone through it will be worth it
i have just heard that the local needs item next week in the uk is to be about a new arrangement for donating online.
details will be in the september announcements letter due out on sept 3rd.
speculate at will!.
wow the watchtower must be crumbling if even after all cut backs they have made these past six years yhey have to start this
regarding morphs laws and its simple expression: its a direct parallel to godwins law on internet debates.
goodwins law states:.
as an online discussion grows longer, the greater the probability of a comparison involving hitler approaches.
But they are selling 3,000 kingdom halls around the world. LOL
my mother in law told us this morning that they read a letter in her cong last night.
from now on kh doors will be locked after 15 min of meeting start.
only the fire exit (one way door) will remain unlocked.
they will not have to do this though in the 3,000 kingdom halls they are selling off around the world
the next time we hear about cuts that the watchtower are making and some people say .
"oh they are a multinational group and far to big to fail.
well so were lehman brothers and the royal bank of scotland.
lv101
the thing that finally convinced me that the watchtower is crumbling is the fact that they are selling off 3,000 propertys off around the world.why should they do that,dont they want people to go to a kingdom hall?
Fred
As the watchtower needs more money they will sell more kingdom halls off and become a online cult
my father would have started college 49 years ago this week.
about three months earlier, the week he graduated high school, the awake!
magazine came out with some very clear direction to teenagers.
The cut backs have been going on for the last six years and they have been reduced to selling off 3,000 propertys around the world and i think that it will be only the first batch of kingdom halls that will be sold off
