another New York Times article again,,
Hope JWs can see this and acknowledge that the org. is getting lots of big money in all this. Hopefully many will surmise they don't need to knock themselves out in giving so much money to Headquarters.
I noticed know one has left a comment for that article on the NYTimes site, I want to leave one but just don't want to be the first or maybe only one.
Wow, somehow it never registered with me that the total of their sales so far is about $700 million.
Another $1 billion in the pipeline....
So, again....what the fruit are they doing wheedling for money every chance they get? Where is it all going?
Love this quote from Richard Devine, watchtower spokesman-
For their part, the Witnesses do not view themselves as being in the real estate business. “Real estate is incidental to our mission,” Mr. Devine said. “We’ve never bought properties on speculation. When we no longer need them, we sell them.”

Where is this money all going some ask.
The Borg is **buying** more time. With sales of properties in the $$Billions, it is a massive chunk of change. Also this month, January 2016, marks the beginning of the huge reduction in printed **spiritual food**. Awake magazines and WTs only printed every other month, if I am not mistaken. Correct me if I am wrong, anyone.
Clearly pushing themselves back in to the black, for a bit. I really do see a push to eliminate printed literature within no more than 5 years. The printed age is ending. Expect more branches closing and more Bethelites kicked in the behind and sent to the curb. The only building in the WT kingdom will be that IVORY TOWER in Warwick.
