How does WT explain 'why' they are 'consolidated' / 'closed'? Notice that when they "quote" publishers/ pioneers that are explaining a potentially 'negative' situation, they simply use a " A Witness in Africa, who was reassigned to the preaching activity, wrote:" (instead of "oh, I have now been kicked out on the street & have to go to work and support myself now, and pretend I am happy with this")
When you read "life stories" in the WT or AW, they give their middle name, maiden name, place of birth, relatives, congregation info, how many years of service, and sometimes the name of their dogs (haha)...
