Not to mention creating a massive paper trail of “charitable” activities to qualify for tax-exemption, since they’ve never done soup kitchens, clothing drives, and the like.

Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?
by DT inthere has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.
this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.
reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

DesirousOfChange - “…After cashing in on $1.5 BILLION$ (or more) from the sale of the Brooklyn real estate, I find it hard to believe they are really desperate for ca$h, but they sure sound desperate…”
They got around $3B for the Brooklyn sales…
…but apparently, Warwick went crazy-over budget, there’ve been hundreds more pedo payouts that haven’t (and may never) hit the news, and from what I’ve heard, there were some significant outstanding debts specifically tied to the Brooklyn properties they were required by law to square away as part of the terms of the sale.
As a result, it’s all gone, baby, gone.
As to whether they’re “desperate”…
…the way they holler and mobilize their lawyers the moment their tax-exemption looks like it’s approaching the chopping block is all the proof I need.

Phizzy - “…in the twisted minds of the GB they are probably thinking that ‘worldly’ lawyers would not receive Jehoober's blessing or assistance, which is why cases fail…”
You know…
…I can absolutely picture Letto the Clown saying that, verbatim, and meaning every fucking word.

Norway JWBorg news - WTBT$ demands subsidy despite their loss of religious status
by EasyPrompt inhttps://cne.news/article/3755-norwegian-jehovah-s-witnesses-demand-subsidy-despite-their-loss-of-religious-status.
jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.
wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .

Yup.
Better to let them do it to themselves.
Much less likely that they’ll re-emerge from the ashes, that way.

Steve Lett doesn’t look well
by Teddnzo inas soon as you see steve letts talk at the agm you think to yourself “oh my, what’s happened to him?.
his hand has plasters and his skin doesn’t look healthy, like he has inflammation or something serious going on.. he had put on weight and is all bloated and puffy .
his skin really doesn’t look good, the kind of inflammation many people notice after the experimental covid vaccines.. there have been very high numbers of people reported inflammation after the experimental covid vaccines.

NotFormer - “…Perhaps being in the rarified atmosphere of Bethel leads to people really believing that they are God's special people. But it's not just the GB who have to believe it, but everyone in the Bethel circle. The GB members had to believe it when they were lower level Bethelites, and the Bethelites upon whose shoulders they now sit must believe it too…”
I guarantee it, for the GB especially.
I think the whole system has evolved to only allow True Believers to rise through the higher ranks.

Beth Sarim - “…This is what cognitive dissonance can do to someone… All JWs must have some form of it to varying degrees. The higher you go in the food chain the tougher it must be…”
The followers? Sure.
The higher-ups, though?
I’ve actually given this a fair amount of thought, and have actually come to suspect that authoritarian leaders don’t experience it at all.

The loss of registration in Norway didn’t really shock us…
…but I think the Org leadership was completely taken by surprise.
All the available anecdotal evidence we have suggests that the guys at the top truly believe that the WTS is “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…
…and, by implication, invincible and destined to prevail.
These days, however, the losses seem to be outweighing the victories, which flies in the face of that.
Being weaned off the government teat, having to pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar, or being held to account for their (and their predecessors’) mistakes can’t really be plausibly spun as “persecution”…
…and according to their own decades-old End-Times interpretation (which they can’t really abandon, ‘cause Fred Franz never left a protege and the talented creatives are all but gone), “Babylon the Great” is supposed to be attacked by “Satan’s World” first.
Not the Watchtower.
Point in fact; the recent change-up to their eschatology still, nevertheless, reiterates this.
They’re obviously not able to reconcile it, though, because overall, they keep making the same kind of ideology-driven strategic blunders…
…like a gambling addict keeps doubling down even harder in a losing streak, ‘cause he figures he’s still due a win.

One thing’s for sure…
…they spent decades crediting the WTS’s success with “God’s Blessing” instead of the efforts of shrewd lawyers, competent businessmen, and talented creatives.
Sure, it projects the appearance of humility, but do it long enough (whilst insisting everyone else around you do it, too), and you can’t help but start to believe it for real.
Eventually, all the shrewd lawyers, competent businessmen, and talented creatives retire, pass on, or are given the boot for whatever reason, and you’re left with true-believing successors who are far less practical, and make far more ideology-driven blunders.

I looked up the “Peter Principle”… it’s interesting (and kinda funny), and maybe applies here.
I finds the following argument(s) pretty convincing:

hoser - “At this level these guys must know the whole religion is a sham so he might actually have a small little bit of conscience that comes up once in a while and he has to push it back down and that takes a mental toll on a person.”
I dunno, man…
…Lett doesn’t strike me as mentally sophisticated enough.
