They could close all of he Kingdom Halls and sell off all the real estate. All that would be left would be the new Warwick facility and the website.

Will The Governing Body Be Resigning From Controlling The Corporation When Things Get Worse And Worse?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwill they be making a lot of their gb helpers full fledge gb?
i think as they continue to loose money and members and contributions dry up, that many might be thinking how to get out of this financial mess with some sort of golden parachute, and hand over the reigns to their helpers.. i'm sure with all this bad that is happening to the corporation they would welcome an early retirement with a nice comfy nest egg away from all this bad publicity away from the public eye.
why do they want to keep fighting a losing battle give over their power for a nice comfy retirement.

Could this be the reason for one day assemblies
by Sour Grapes inlast saturday i sat through the one day assembly and i waited for the anticipated accounts report.
for one day the costs were $10,000.
even my wife questioned why the costs are so high and why don't they give a break down on the costs?

"I suggested to Mrs. Searcher this morning that once the org's "Master Plan" has been effectively implemented, (consolidating K.H.'s/merging congregations) the loyal sheep in the 'new folds' could be "requested" to follow the org's new directions on how to donate to the K.H. fund/worldwide work - by automatic bank transfer. This would be "to reduce valuable costs in administration."
WTBTS must be envious of other religions & cults who can track and deal with non-contributors - time to join them!"
"How long will it be until tithing comes in.... "
I think it's just a matter of time before they use the website to do that. Automatic monthly charges to thousands of credit cards and checking accounts would generate a lot of revenue. Eventually they will add a pay wall to jw . org and all of the good little witnesses will be expected to be paying members. They could make it possible for active subscribers on jw . org to know who all of the other active subscribers are and who isn't. This could be especially annoying for those of us who have moved a great distance as part of the fading process because the website could be an effective tool to keep tabs on those who may stray from the flock.

What Comes After the Watchtower Collapse?
by schnell ini was going to put this in my thread about pyramid schemes, but i thought it's discreet enough to warrant its own.
1) there are many faithful jws.
2) there are many men and women who could take control and fill the void if the watchtower collapses.

I think the end game would be for them to add a pay wall to the website. They could save a ton of money because they could stop publishing all physical books, magazines and other reading materials and put all of that material on the website behind the pay wall. The WTS would then have consistent monthly cash flow because all good little witnesses would be expected to be paying members of the website. One's membership status and field service activity could be seen by other paying members in a quasi-Facebook kind of way thus retaining the social pressure for dubs to stay in the organization and send in their money every month. The website would serve as an effective way to manage the slow decline of the organization.

No, your cards will very likely be sent back to your original congregation
If someone were transfer several times through a series of congregations from say congregation A then to congregation B and to C then D etc. would the secretary at congregation D be able to tell from the publisher's cards and letter of introduction that he receives in the mail that the person originally came from congregation A? Is it possible that if the person disappears or just never shows up that the secretary then mail everything back to congregation A based on the assumption that the person's family is there?

Hi folks. I have been a lurker here for quite some time but I have now decided to make my first post. I am originally from somewhere on the East Coast, but recently, in part to aid in the fading process, I have moved to a city somewhere West of the Mississippi. At the moment I am still a member of the cong. back home where my family is, and my publisher's card is still there. I've decided that it would probably be best to have my card formally transferred to a cong. here in my new town so that my family back home doesn't worry too much about me becoming inactive. Once I have everything transferred I don't intend to go to the new cong. more than once or twice so based on what I have read here and elsewhere it looks like a PO Box and a prepaid cell phone would be useful tools to have. All of that said, I was wondering about something. There a few stories about people hijacking the transfer process and intercepting the card(s) and the letter. I was wondering about a possible twist on that. Apparently you would recruit somebody to impersonate the secretary from the new cong. who would then call the old cong. and ask for the card, and letter of introduction to be mailed to an address that you control. That seems kind of risky because the secretary at the old cong. might balk if he's asked to mail the stuff somewhere that he can't confirm as being a legitimate address of a K.H. Well then why not find a real cong. at a real K.H. in some random city and have everything sent there? First you could call some random cong. in say, Minneapolis using a disposable cell phone and find out the real name of the secretary and write the name down. Let’s pretend his name is Fred Flintstone. You could then have your impersonator call the old cong. spoof the caller ID, and claim to be secretary Fred Flintstone from the cong. in Minneapolis and request the card and letter be mailed to the real street address of that K.H. The stuff would then show up in Minneapolis, a city where I will probably never live and just sit in a file cabinet forever. Does anybody think this could work?
