They should have a vast amount of savings with all the cut backs they have been making these 6 years.The question is how long will the money stay in the bank before they have to start paying bills with it

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.

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
