Just as I thought. No one knows for a certainty.
Like all non-profits it is to their advantage to have their contributors "believe" that their situation is dire.
We all cut costs on things that don't make a significant difference. Soft cover books are NOT a sign that the Watchtower is folding.
Cheap (and crappy) convention facilities are NOT a sign that the Watchtower can't afford it. It is more likely that the accountants are doing their jobs just like the lawyers.
Selling off property that no longer serves its purpose is NOT a sign that the Watchtower is in decline. They are a printing company and they have some pretty fancy equipment. Presses have always been their pride and joy.
Their money is probably going into the branches.
