The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society is...Outsourcing

Room 215
If someone were to crunch the numbers (I believe Tom Cabeen once did a simlar exercise) I bet the WTBTS would be much better advised to shut down all their operations, sell off all their property at today's white-hot real estate prices and equipment and outsource all printing. But, of course, that would mean saying ``bye-bye'' to their Shangri La retirement compound in Patterson and end once and for all to the Bethel ``mystique'' that earns them so many perks-- and such adulation -- in their travels within dubdom around the world.

Room 215, perhaps that is why Patterson is called an educational center and except for the video/cassette are (is that still there), nothing is printed, published, etc., etc. The nice retirement homes are there.

I heard a rumour that a year or so ago they did "crunch the numbers" and found it was cheaper to outsource the printing! As that was an unacceptable conclusion, they instead decided to try cut printing costs by buying new state-of-the-art presses and create a few 'super-printeries' around the world.
But, of course, that would mean saying ``bye-bye'' to their Shangri La retirement compound in Patterson and end once and for all to the Bethel ``mystique'' that earns them so many perks-- and such adulation -- in their travels within dubdom around the world.
I don't think it would, because all the office workers would remain. If anything, I suppose such an exercise would enhance their 'mystique' becuase there would be far fewer Bethelites to go around.

Don't you remember how the Society use to boast that they had the latest in this and in that and they had their own labratories and did research on how to re populate animals coming back into certain areas. They have their own doctors, clinic with in its walls and dentists and every other concievable thing you can think of. I mean thats how they use to rant and rave about how much Jehovah's blessing was on the organization, because they had the best of everything in life. Has something happened? Yes I concur they have so much real estate and land and buildings and what good are they if they keep down-sizing
And now they are dismissing Bethelites, why? Who will work for them now or is it that people are not applying for Bethel service any more? Questions and more questions.
And now they are using resourses outside the confines of Bethel. My oh my, what is next.
