  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.

  my jw family has even mentioned it.

  Any citation/proof or are we suppose to just take their word for it?

  Rick Fearon had “Johnny” call in and claim only 5 million attended the memorial, I believe, the very next day...

  ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

  honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

  to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

  lol — whoever down-voted me is missing a very important point. 2015 was 3 years ago, when the “collapse” allegedly began. It’s damn near 2019, and there is no collapse.

  I mean, it’s really not that hard to add 2 and 2, unless this will take another “20-30” years to completely fall, as some here have posited before.

  Sanchy,

  I have no desire to change your mind. Believe what you wish. Time will tell.

  IFT,

  I think the problem is people are interpreting their actions based on what they want to happen (collapse) and not in light how organizations operate. So one less dollar spent this year than last year, equals “collapse”. It’s literally how they see it.

  So while our economy has rebounded, it certainly isn’t robust. Best to tighten your belts where you can instead of attempting to ride it out.

  Sanchy,

  Actually, WT did not find itself in the red. They never said “operating expenses” were not being covered. They specifically stated “theocratic initiatives” they had planned (building projects, etc) were not being funded as expected.

  But then in January 2016 (IIRC) they said the got the needed funding, and in March 2017, they mentioned the Warwick HQ was totally funded by the NY sales, in essence, swapping buildings.

  So I believe your information is terribly inaccurate.

  So now you suggesting that the collapse is just beginning. Well that’s convenient.

  Yeah, and he was clearly implying that WT isn’t wealthy, which, of course, is total nonsense.

  I don’t think anyone has claimed WT is immune to collapse. I certainly haven’t.

  I just don’t buy into all these popular, and UNPROVEN conspiracy theories that have been circulating the internet since the late 90s. After all, if those conspiracies were remotely true, WT would not exist in 2018.

  And “not wealthy compared to other religions” does not mean you’re not wealthy.

  GOG?

  Lol. No, not what I was referring to. I was referring to apathy, THE fatal poison of all religion.

  Apathy leads to decline, and with decline, goes the money along with it.
