  If this doesn't wake up the locals Ws, then shame on them.

  It won't wake them up. Other American-originated religious groups in Mexico - LDS, 7th-Day Adventists, Pentecostals - tithe members so Mexicans as poor as they are seem to accept that money and religious affiliation go together.

  Thank you for your comments in this post. Although this AKH is in Mexico border, a lot of brothers from El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM come to Spanish assemblies in Juarez. About 10-15% of attendance is from US. An the same happens when the conventions are in El Paso and Las Cruces, brothers from Juarez go to those cities. And according with steve2, they will not wake up. People in Mexico, despite their socioeconomic background, are attracted and attached to any religion/cult. There is a considerable growth in some cults like Pentecostals, LDS (I saw lately a lot of young elders in streets), even in Holy Death cult.

  They will probably get the gullible brothers to build a new one.

  And how many new construction projects are being initiated to replace it?

  I'm guessing...

  ...none.

  No religious organizations does this in a time of growth. This signals streamlining and cutbacks.

  I think the watchtower know they are going to be around for a long long time and so are trying to make the billion dollars they got from selling the new york bethel off last a long time

  Since Assembly halls are generally used only 2 days a week, and sit mostly vacant 5 days a week, I have always wondered how they have found it economically efficient. Surely it would cost less, all things considered, just to rent a stadium or other facilities for the assemblies.
