I think watson is on to something. The public talks were reduced by 15 minutes in 2008 and the BS is no more in 2009.
With the reduction of talk times, more additional congregation meetings could fit into the Sunday schedule. With the elimination of the BS, 4 or 5 congregations would fit per auditorium.
This would be in line with all the other penny-pinching that is happening.
The Society's review of the dissolution is part of a process (with a special reporting form) that is being done in the US and am I sure wherever else it is approppriate.
Many halls in expensive urban areas have been around for some time and have zero debt. By 2010 we can expect to see the wholesale destruction of many individual halls...sorry, I got my thoughts mixed up in a Finished Mystery prophecy. I mean, the loving Governing Body bringing the worldwide congregation closer together for the benefit and protection of the flock as the end draws near.
