Do not be fooled, the WTBTS is doing quite well financially:
- they're making a killing with the sales of their NY HQ and other bethel/KH/branch properties around the world.
- Now that they've reduced the small assemblies to 1-day, they're receiving double the contribution amount from 2 circuits that use the same assembly place in one weekend (1 on Saturday and the other on Sunday); this was a very clever, profit-motivated move (of course, it was directed by the 'Holy Spirit').
- With them going 'electronic', only here in the USA, the profits are immense; imagine how much more when they reach this capability worldwide.
- On top of the massive profits, the savings accrued with the releasing of special pioneers/missionaries/district overseers/bethelites around the world are immense as well.
- Now that the old gizzard zealots are dying off, and with they increasing F.O.G. rhetoric, surely they're being funneled large $$$ and valuables (you know how one must honor Jehovah with our valuable things. wink, wink).
The WTBTS is doing extremely well financially at this time.
They better enjoy it and invest it wisely. The new generation of JWs are coming, and they're much better informed on their bs.
