  As the watchtower have to keep paying for lots of the thirld world branches to keep going, i think the only choice for the watchtower is do they start selling branches around the world off like they did in 2012 or do they sell kingdom halls off

  one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

  "in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

  all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.

  2. child-abuse

  in the montana sex abuse court case for the first time watchtower has been required by the courts to give a financial statement to the court to assess awards of punitive damages for negligence and (for the first time)malice in non compliance of mandatory reporting laws.. watchtower corp of new york has finances in excess of $2 billion while cc of jw is worth $49 million.

  this doesn't include the pensylvania corp or what overseas branches may have.. pretty healthy bank balance by any standards..

  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

  just had to share this, tonight we had a heated conversation about the religion.

  she said everything they teach is 100% true and any mistakes are cleaned up and corrected, that the payouts for the child abuse is not an issue even if its taken from donations.

  because, she believe 100% the org knows what its doing.

  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.

  2. friends

  i 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.

  i 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.

  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

  2. beliefs

  it's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?

  very strange.... anyone heard anything about it?

  perhaps from those still in to some degree or from relatives/friends still in?.

  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
