The cut backs have been going on since 2012 when the watchtower closed down 20 branch offices around the world acording to their own website.Really bad PR for the watchtower to say to all the jws in 20 countries that you are now not worthy enough to have a branch office

This with all their other bills that the watchtower has to pay will really help to make them short of money

"New Kingdom Halls Being Built Around the World.........."
by The Fall Guy inthat's what a very elderly jw sister said to me this afternoon, in response to all the sell-offs.
i didn't contradict her - she's far too close to the end, but if it had been a younger jw i'd have suggested this:.
"isn't it a pity that the society doesn't have a section on its web site where it could post photographs of all the new kingdom halls that are getting built every week/month?

Selling off kingdom halls is great because it means the watchtower is becoming more and more a online cult and nothing more

JW org collapses
by I Faded Twice inok 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.

If people have been "good" jws and got low grade jobs even if they wanted to give lots of money to the watchtower they would not be able to.So im pleased to say that the watchtower have really shot themselves in the foot with this.

why i think it is about the money is
They might be thinking that there is not as much need for magazines in print but why cant they do more online magazines,booklets etc.They are even cutting down on the amount of writers they need.

WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)
by AverageJoe1 inwe all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.
at least that is their official stance.
it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

This is why starrynight9 they are in money trouble right now. All the keen jws are in low paid jobs and not working many hours so that they can go to door to door,so they dont have a great deal of money .

How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?
by pale.emperor inwhen i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

The problem the watchtower has got though is that if somebody is a good jw and spends many hours going door to door etc they will not have a great deal of money to tith with any way
