Iknow $2 billion is a lot of money to us but for a multinational company with lots of branches in 3rd world countries that could soon go.I has a look at all the watchtower branches are in the world and i could easily imagine that many are not paying their way.In 2012 the watchtower closed 20 international branch offices down.

* 2018 Mergers and changes to UK congregations *
by truthseeker ini have a document containing a list of all congregations in the uk.
periodically i go through the links and check to see if they're still registered as charities and if the location of the congregation is the same.. instead of posting a large list of changes all at once, i will be adding each change that i find in a new reply to this thread.. please check back here periodically.. truthseeker.

This is really good news anything that makes it harder for people to get to a kingdom hall is good

by StarryNight9 ini was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.

They have been making cuts since 2012 when acording to their own website they closed 20 branches around the world down so i dont think its just a short term cash flow thing

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.
