Just think: $497 Million in donations from just the UK alone in less than a decade. Just the UK! Not America (home base) or even South America. (#2) Just the UK!
So now tell me again how a $2 million USD settlement here, or a $5 million USD settlement there, for CSA payouts is going to "bring down" the WatchTower? This cult is worth BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of dollars. They have real estate, and huge investment portfolios we can only dream about.
They sure act desperate and like they're hurting for money, what with all the sell-offs of buildings, begging of donations, etc going on.
So that BEGS the question: Where the fuq is all the money going then? WTH is going on? Are they building a compound or underground bunkers around the world no one knows about? I find that hard to believe with how stupid they are and with how everything (even stupid videos) are leaked early.
