Welcome back Scotsman, nice to have you here ! As you can see it's pretty apparent the WT Society is in full tilt downsizing mode as to consolidate congregations and try to put more $$$ in the " kingdom " bank accounts.
That being said - they have to do that due to a couple factors. I was made aware two or three years ago that the WT Society went into default on some big construction bank loans from one of the major banks back on the east coast in U.S. ( possibly B of A can't remember ) but after that - they were blacklisted from receiving any more construction loans. And then of course since you were last on the board their have been thousands more JW child abuse lawsuit cases around the world. Not only the bad publicity of having their child abuse policies exposed publicly by the Australia commission- but WT Society is digging in and refusing to hand over court requested documents showing there are approximately 23,000 pedophiles still inside the JW organization. They stood in contempt of court to do so, even willing to pay millions of $$$$ in fines to protect the names and identity of said JW pedophiles.
So in a quick nutshell - this kind of stuff has been going down since you left. Personally- I think that with each progressing year - WT Society is getting backed into a corner tighter and tighter until eventually ( and who knows when ) the air will be squeezed out of them by authorities
