To answer the OP's questions: No, No, and a big YES!
I did a little 'research' and found an interesting article "This Is Our Place of Worship", and the section "Providing and Financing Kingdom Halls TM", seems to confirm what you are saying. Here's just a smidgeon.
Watchtower TM July 2015, study edition
Thanks talesin, I hadn't noticed that on the magazine, it's an eye opener.
1. did jesus use the term this generation as a compliment?
2. was jesus speaking to people living at that time?
3. was jesus speaking about people living at that time?

Imho it would be no different that when the bookstudy as a separate meeting night was cancelled. Most dubs were very happy that they had another free night... If the dubs were relieved of the door to door work they'd be happy to comply.
I agree Listener, if I was still in and this change took place, I would celebrate and I wouldn't mind giving a few bucks$$$$ instead of going door to door.
Hey, isn't this how the other religions evolved??

Thanks Terry,
You know, I would have liked to have met Jesus and ask him some direct questions like;
"Is there life after death" and when will that take place?"
But knowing what I know, He probably would have answered me like this;
"Look at the lilies of the field that feed the birds, if you have the faith of a worm, the butterfly will come!"
OK!!!!!!!

Wtbts fears bancruptcy and has pulled in marketing professionals (in fact professionals generally)who have told them they are wasting their manhours with unsuitable (ie shy etc)folk going d2d when their time/resources could be more profitably spent volunteering in other ways
I believe that is exactly what is happening. Marketing professionals are the ones directing the WT work----NOT GOD

It’s been a couple of weeks since a new C.O. was appointed to the circuit and I’m starting to hear tidbits of his talks.
One brother told me that in one of his talks he asked the question;
“If the GB decides that the door to door work should take a new turn, will you follow the direction by Jehovah’s appointed Channel?”
He went on to explain;
“It’s no surprise that JW.Org is having tremendous success. People are asking for Bible studies by the thousands, and no door to door work is involved.
He went on to say that the “WT Carts” (I don’t think they call them that) are proving more effective than door to door work.
So what can Jdub expect in the future?
He said;
“Perhaps volunteering in the construction work is a better option,
And if you are not able to volunteer in construction work, then---
You can help FINANCIALLY-$$$$, by supporting monetarily to Jehovah’s Organization.
Couple of questions came to my mind.
A. Are thousands of people really asking for Bible studies?
B. Are The JW Carts more effective?
C. Is construction and sale of Real Estate and Donations going to supersede the door to door work?
ive seen jw parents shun their disfellowshipped children for 20-30 years.
ive seen parents remove disfellowshipped or fader children from wills and give the inheritance to the watchtower..
if your country got run over by some form of government like the nazi regime and started a process of eliminating any groups or individuals who it considered a threat.
the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.
whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?
im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.
That I know of, no one ever reported on me, but as an elder, I had many-many report to me some of the most petty things you can think of, like;
"Sister hot, young, and pretty bought a bubble dress, that's not good for the young brothers"
Brother young is getting to muscular, he is spending to much time in the Gym and not enough time in field services."
"Sister divorced is saying "Hi" to much to brother single, we sisters feel she is dwelling on the flesh too much."
"Brother and sister-about to get married- are holding hands during the song, if someone doesn't do something, they are going to commit fornication"
I could go on but you get the drift.
