Not completely but the expensive renting of halls or assembly hall ownership. Maybe with streaming they could have assemblies at the KH and stream the program. I bet they cut costs in a lot of ways.

I would start if it were me not by attacking the cult. But by asking questions. Act as if and maybe you are curious. How is it if we have the right religion that they were wrong on all the dates, how can this be? Did you know about the pyramid and CT Russell? How come it is that the Watchtower uses dating methods to get to all bible dates but for 607BCE and that one is not credible? You can probably think of better questions.

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

Somehow I don't think a bible KJ or other will be bumping anyone out of the cult.

I would look up this info about how to get someone mentally out of a cult on line. Not many here will know how to psychologically work this. Its delicate. If you push hard they usually grasp on to the cult harder.

Time to remind JWs of this famous quote from CT Russell!
by stuckinarut2 inwith the ever present issue of the society seeming to run out of money, and constantly asking the flock for more donations, maybe it is time to revive this quote!.
the leaked financial dept videos that have done the rounds, clearly show the society is in desperate trouble financially.. so, where is the "almighty's hand"?
where is his ability to provide funds?

Fink, spot on. They may lose numbers and have a neg. increase but they will not just give up. They went through a lot of crap over the 1975 and the kool-aid drinkers were all too happy to drink up.

JWs & "generations"
by Magnum inwe all know what a mess the jw "generation" teachings have been.
but, there is one hard and fast truth concerning jws and "generations" - that is, that many generations of jws have died without the realization of the hope they were promised.. there were many before my grandfather's time, but i'm going to start with his.
his generation, his peers, lived at a time when jwdom was exciting, bold, confident, seemingly deeper and scholarly, seemingly genuinely concerned about the preaching work and saving lives.

A lot of times what happens is some brother who has a business gives them a token job. They have to now work till dead. My Grandfather was a CO for several years, and a SP for some years. Then an elder in his older age. I could tell he knew that there was some BS in the cult. He never said it but he took a job as a prison guard to get a small pension. If you work in "hazardous" job for the gov, its only 10 years and you get a pension. He never said that is what he did but before that he worked as an orange picker, furniture mover, book keeper for a small business and carpet installer. Anything to keep the bills paid. When he was a SP he had one child my mother. She was not planed and was told this all the time. They lived on picking up bottles along the road in Maine in the SP work along with the small stipend that was given them by the cult. His pension was only 300 a month but it was enough to help pay some bills. The cult is evil. It will continue to do what it does as long as kool aid drinkers drink the drink.
