Where does WT get their money?
by Dreamerdude ini assume they get most of it from cash donations and assets left in wills.
there may also be some income from invested assets.
i guess they get a lot of money from old jws who die childless or with only df'd kids.geographically i assume they get it mostly from a few countries that have many publishers and strong economies.

This article: http://www.brooklyneagle.com/articles/2016/4/29/all-along-watchtower-jehovahs-witnesses-are-selling-107-columbia-heights
said: "According to the Commercial Observer, which first reported 107 Columbia Heights' availability, the building could go for more than $1,000 per square foot, meaning more than $154 million at minimum."
That was reported only a few days ago! Now they only got $690/square foot, not a $1,000. Watchtower must have been very desperate!

I like your post. Nice thoughts and I agree with the U.S being the cash cow for the org. And I think there are a lot of people who are no longer donating in the U.S. anymore either. That's why there well is drying up.
Too bad.

Well, I just looked up that scripture at Biblehub and it uses the word loyalty in the original Hebrew. It said, "And humbly covenant loyalty and to love justly."
Take a look yourself.

Well then I have to say GOOD FOR JAPAN. Good for them, because it means as a whole they are waking up. That's a lot more than I can say for the good old U.S. of A. Because they are not waking up as a whole. Yes, there are a many of us here in the U.S. that are waking up, but there are many a mile to go before the consensus is to "wake up people". But one day, one day I say, well, never give up is what I say... -
