It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

One thing occurs to me as I look at the Corporation's sympathizer numbers as well as their apparent financial condition since Ray Franz's exit. That one thing is they have prospered beyond imagination. If they could expect the same gains if another Director left, they would, most likely, gladly give up a dissatisfied dissident.

In 1981 the peak publishers numbered 2,361,896 (The Watchtower, Jan 1 1982 p. 29)
In 1989 the peak publishers numbered 5,888,650 (The Watchtower, Jan 1 1999 p. 15)

That is a one hundred and forty nine percent gain. That is eight point seven seven percent gain per year on average. In business, a seven percent increase in production manufacturing, year after year, is almost unmanageable.

Do I think those increased numbers translate to hard cash? You bet!

Look at the real estate holding increases since 1981. Do I think the Corp has more assets than they did in 1981? Yes!

I am thinking we are not hurting them. I think no dissenters are hurting them. I think they have no real fear of us or whoever is playing mystery member of the week. These guys can write a billion dollar check and it would clear. These guys don't live in a house of cards just waiting for a breeze to blow it down. They have bricks, mortar, steel and hard cash and a fleet of attorneys who have tried more cases before the US Supreme Court than any other Corporation.

These are hardened, cold, selfish, uncaring, big city businessmen, who would dispense with one of their own without breaking a sweat.
