The Watchtower must know that the whole house-of-cards is about to fall on this time exposed doomsday cult. They are making this money grab while they still have the power to do so.
I can't wait to hear the stories of Kingdom Hall's needing major repairs.....then, being continually denied their own money back to pay for such repairs. The Watchtower will just keep putting them off like a slum lord, until the CO convinces them to go ahead and pay for it themselves and "Mother" will make it up to them. LOL
Would serve the idiots right after blindly giving their money to the Watchtower like this.
