  Jehovah`s Witnesses pride themselves in volunteering to help build K.H.`s ,witnesses who are in the building trades such as plumbing ,electricians ,plasterers , builders , tilers ,etc, that I know of gave of their time and effort to build K.H.`s free of charge ,and in many cases donated said materials as a gift to furthering true worship.

  All at no cost to the G.B. of Jehovah`s Witnesses at H.Q. USA. And this KH now belongs to J.W./H.Q./USA

  A number of years down the track J.W./H.Q. decides to sell said K.H. and where does the money go to ?H.Q. of JW /USA

  The poor suckers who spent their time and effort and money to build this hall are left with nothing and if they want another hall they have to do it all over again .

  And get screwed again if their so gullible.

  The expression...'once bitten twice shy' comes to mind!.

  The days of WTs' pulling off another scam like the 80s, 90s thru early 2000s where the GB bamboozled the rank & file into building 'Mother' a real estate empire...ain't going to happen again...& WT knows it!

  CHARLATAN: A malicious trickster; a fake person, especially one who deceives for personal profit.
  

  https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/charlatan

  As long as the charlatans (and parasites) running the WTBTS can dupe people into believing that -
  

  1) only the org is God's "channel" on earth, led by "Christ's brothers" (soon to be king-priests in heaven!)

  and

  2) only JW's are "true Christians" and God's chosen people.....

  ...then the cult will always have a hard-core of believers who are willing to offer their sacrifices to their god in Warwick who assures them that such obedience pleases their God in heaven.

  The Pharisees ran the money-making business of worship 2000 years ago - nothing has changed.

  It's the same phenomena that plagued Fox Mulder in The X-Files.

  It is how we all used to not notice the herd of elephants in the Kingdom Hall.

  Loyal JW's believe they are helping God's Organization..........thus "working for God", and perhaps working to gain their own salvation. Contributing of their time to the Borg is easier than contributing cash.

  The Borg gets its new KHall.

  The JW gets his "warn & fuzzy feel good feeling" (plus gets to keep his cash). He was only gonna waste the time going D2D -- building a KHall is much easier and much much more rewarding.
