Which is why making donations for the "worldwide work" of the organization instead of for books and magazines was a smart move. - dubstepped
If I remember correctly they started a separate box for WWW a very long time ago. Most dubs just shared out what they were giving previously between the local box and the new box.
Then there was a third box when the free literature arrangement was forced on them. They expected JWs to donate the cost of their mags and books and in addition to put in anything they got in donations at the doors. When I was accounts servant this box was as empty as Newcastle's trophy cabinet.
The "donations only" literature following the Swaggart court case cost them millions in annual revenue. Their huge reserves have been masking this for the past two decades. Recently they have been selling the family silver and stealing all the reserves from local KHall funds.
None of this is a permanent solution. I reckon they are pinning their hopes on armageddon!

SBF - Numbers 1 - 5 seem to be beyond dispute.
Some seem to think that the GB have all of these issues under control and are in the process of seamlessly changing their business model to accommodate them. I don't see how the evidence can be reconciled with that view.
Having huge reserves can mask a crisis for a long time but I agree the cracks are showing. "Jehovah will provide" must be starting to sound a bit hollow.

maccauk (and the two people who liked the OP) do you understand the difference between the trinity and the heresy of modalism as taught by early theologians such as Noetus, Praxeas and Sabellius?
Other popular non-trinitarian heresies include tritheism, partialism and monarchiansim. Very few christians who claim to worship a trinitarian god actually have a clue what that means.
It is impossible to explain the trinity simply in your own words without resorting to esoteric Greek phrases and/or committing a heresy.
This should tell you something.

A man can be a father, A man can be a son, A man can be a husband, He is the same man but three different aspects of him - maccauk
That is NOT the trinity.That is a heresy called modalism.
It's hilarious that even those who try to defend the trinity can't begin to understand it.

Why?
Very unusual move by the elders. I suspect there is a bit more to it.

Only a few years ago we were shouting from the rooftops how many millions of copies of this magazine we published in hundreds of languages every month.
Now they have scrapped the magazine - apparently that is also wonderful.
