Basically its been big business selling "the end".
That product isn't selling anymore (as far as bringing in people), but they have a flock already that is socially and emotionally dependent on the organization that "need" a place to worship.
Why not try to monetize that more with a devised income stream of pledged payments from each publisher. In other words, if you want us to keep babysitting you, telling you what to think, what to do with your life, and spanking you when you're bad then you are going to have to pay $$$ for it.
Congs with paid for halls will be reminded that it isn't "their" hall. So pony up your lease/franchise fee.
This is obviously to bring in more money. They will sell it as "better for the friends."
There will never be an accounting of the funds made publicly available.
The GB will siphon off/set aside whatever millions they see fit to comfortably provide for themselves for decades regardless of the ultimate fate of the org.
