Maybe…
…‘cept I’m pretty sure the bulk of the Org’s income comes from real estate.
It’s a lack of growth that would concern them, ‘cause eventually, it’d become too obvious to just hand-wave away.

Vidiot, I guess the WTS would like to keep the money coming in from rank and file jws so those people don't forget to keep donating. Lack of growth would definitely cut back on donations, jws that vote with their "pocketbook," and the fast disappearing old jws.

…I think they’ll do damn near anything to keep propping that one up.

It’s the free labour they want which they can turn into money.
I know people who have been df’d for decades and two elders wave their magic wand and presto they are back in good standing. Just like that.
One who has building skills was immediately asked to go on the ldc like nothing ever happened. No restrictions whatsoever.
Funny that for some privileges you have to wait 3 to 5 years after reinstatement to get back but plumbing in toilets on commercial real estate you can do the weekend after the announcement.

We did a video about it, I can't remember the title right now, but there was even a clip of them showing a disfellowshipped person going into the Kingdom hall & greeting them

Let me add this, from WT August 24 p. 30-31 "Does what we have considered mean that we would completely ignore a person who has been removed from the congregation? Not necessarily. Certainly, we would not socialize with him. But Christians can use their Bible-trained conscience in deciding whether to invite a person who was removed from the congregation—perhaps a relative or someone they were close to previously—to attend a congregation meeting. What if he attends? In the past, we would not greet such a person. Here again, each Christian needs to use his Bible-trained conscience in this matter. Some may feel comfortable with greeting or welcoming the person to the meeting. However, we would not have an extended conversation or socialize with the individual.
