This is an organization in the process of shutting down. Over the past several years:
They've shut down the bi-monthly Awake magazine.
They've shut down 32 page magazines for the public, turning them into 16-page pamphlets.
They've shut down the Book Study.
They've shut down 2-day circuit assemblies.
They've shut down all work of District Overseers.
They're shutting down Brooklyn and having a fire sale.
They've shut down the 50-hour requirement for auxiliary pioneers to the point that most who do it, only do it when it's 'on sale' for 30 hours.
They've shut down the subscription arrangement for their magazines.
They've shut down the Theocratic Ministry School, one of the few beneficial meetings they had, by eliminating constructive criticism and turning 'counsel' into 60 seconds of niceties.
They've shut down Ministerial Training School and shut out Gilead School from all but the hand-picked elite.
They've shut down dozens of branch offices, liquidating properties around the world.
They've shut down hundreds of congregations around the world due to lack of interest, with several more to go.
This is NOT an organization that's ramping up activity for much of anything. It's all about appearances. Install a high-speed internet connection, pipe in GB talks to local KH's and give the impression that something big is happening.
It's not. It's an organization that's slowly rotting from the inside due to malaise, apathy, and simply because nobody cares anymore.
