Y es the watchtower has on going debts paying for all the thirld world branches that are not paying their way.They cant really sell any more branch offices off (they did sell 20 0ff in 2012) that would upset the whole country knowing that their branch office had been sold,so its easier to keep on selling local kingdom halls off and hope that most jws wouldnt know what was happening 400 and 500 miles away

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Kingdom Halls?
by nicolaou inafter all, "at this time,over 13,000 kingdom hall projects and 35 assembly hall projects are needed worldwide.".
hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .
could this be the long game?

Lv the jw man at the start of the video was talking about 2016,so even if they were talking about 2015 by my maths that makes it 4 years old.
a piece
Its a video on the jw survey channel on youtube and its called under the "watchtower in focus"section and its called dedicated funds.
John redwood who is one of the ex jw people on the video had a very intresting thought about why the watchtower has made so many cuts since 2012.
What he thought was that many of the 3rd world branches in africa and asia are not paying their way and are depending on a few rich countries to pay the bills.and that really made sense to me if you have 40 or 50 branches that are not fully paying their way then it very quickly mounts up

If i thought the end was coming i wouldnt have kicked out 1000s of people from bethels from around the world but kept them there so they could go door to door not 30 hours a month but 50 hours a week. -

The good news is lv101 that i think the time is coming for the watchtower when it will just be the people at warwick and they will be doing stuff online and everything else will be sold off.

Never in my wildest dream would I ever see one of those dog gone carts
by Tameria2001 ini moved to where i'm currently living for 10 years now.
once in a while, i would have jws come to my door and every single time either i or my husband would send them on their merry way, although my husband is quite rude about it.
i'm not sure when the cart witnessing (or whatever it is called) started up, but the only time i ever heard about it was on the internet, or someone here talking about it.

The next few years are going to be really good for us as ex jws because if the watchtower has lots of out goings but not much money going in they will have to close loads of kingdom halls each year just to keep paying the bills -

JW trolleys - London
by HB inthought you might like to know that during a visit to london yesterday, the jw's were conspicuous by their complete absence.
admittedly it was a tuesday in february, but myself and my ex jw friend thought we would see at least one or two trolleys in their usual haunts, but nothing.
we checked out the area around westminster station where we have talked to jws before, but there was no sign.
