Where does WT get their money?

I assume they get most of it from cash donations and assets left in wills. There may also be some income from invested assets. I guess they get a lot of money from old JWs who die childless or with only df'd kids.
Geographically I assume they get it mostly from a few countries that have many publishers and strong economies. They recently published their top 6 publisher countries:
1) US
2)Mexico
3) Brazil
4) Nigeria
5) Italy
6) Japan
I am sure the US makes up 50% of their income. Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria are almost surely money losers, maybe even money pits. I don't think the Italians earn much profit, if any. I'll bet that Japan is number two in profits, with their super branch. I guess Germany is next with their super branch. I think the UK and and Canada turn sizable profits. Australia was profitable, even with their small population, at least until ARC.
Here is my guess about profits:
1) US 50%
2) Japan 18%
3) Germany 16%
4) UK (known to the stupid Borg as Britain) 10%
5) Canada 6%
6) Australia?
My impression is that the rest of the world either breaks even or loses money for the Borg. The case of India, which I read about here, is a funny case where the India branch has to beg Indian expats to donate from overseas, with copies of their passports.
What are your thoughts? I hope I have not exposed my poor accounting skills. Please take easy on me, since this is my first post of intended substance. I hope awake people in these rich countries can help dry up the funds to this lousy "charity".

I like your post. Nice thoughts and I agree with the U.S being the cash cow for the org. And I think there are a lot of people who are no longer donating in the U.S. anymore either. That's why there well is drying up.
Too bad.

Level, I hope you are right. I am trying to understand how the money men and lawyers who run the WT think. They must be considering their revenue streams closely, unless they are as foolish as Lett makes them seem, not really understanding what's flowing in and what's flowing out.
The US has a history of indulging cults, though, so Americans might be more generous, and for longer. This country has supported the likes of Puritans, Anabaptists, Quakers, Shakers, Mormons, Adventists, and Scientologists as well. It's the land of the free, in which some religions use their religious freedoms to take people captive. It's also the land of the brave, where people can stand up for their freedom.

Doesn`t a lot of their money come straight from the sale of Real Estate that they own ?
Prime real Estate in NYC , Bethels , Branch Offices around the world , Kingdom halls that are built by volunteer labour and then sold off for profit , amalgamation of other KH,`s .
And let`s not forget the wiping of loan arrangements from the table that would have been paid off in a few years or more and then pledging that same amount of money to be paid to W.T. HQ for eternity or Armageddon , whichever comes first.

Yes, that's quite a racket. Get other people to build it, then sell it for 100% profit.

On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the LORD met him and tried to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' feet with it, and said, "Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" So he let him alone. It was then she said, "A bridegroom of blood by circumcision." (Exodus 4:24-26, NRSV)
At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.) (NIV)
 As Moses and his family were traveling along and had stopped for the night, Jehovah appeared to Moses and threatened to kill him. Then Zipporah his wife took a flint knife and cut off the foreskin of her young son’s penis, and threw it against Moses’ feet, remarking disgustedly, “What a blood-smeared husband you’ve turned out to be!”
Then God left him alone. (TLB)

It's so weird in the OT, what's the fascination with the foreskin?? Remember David

It was because Moses broke the Abrahamic covenant - the one that required males to be circumcised on the 8th day of life - by (1) marrying outside the tribes and (2) allowing his wife, Zipporah, to carry on with her family traditions, which did not, apparently, include circumcision of the male children.
PS - I inquired about this scripture to one of the Elders™ when I was 14 or 15. His answer? "Why don't you do some research and tell me what you find." I guess he didn't know how to say "I really don't know."

The beat part is how moses wrote about his death (after he died) and said how he (himself) was the meekest man ever. Lol silly bible, go home you're drunk.

The true story: Damn't Moses you have been moping around for days crying
like a baby, my son is not circumcised God is going to kill me. Grow some balls man.
Zipporah threw something in Moses face. Moses jumps and ask , what the hell is this?
Zipporah: it's your son's little foreskin you jerk.
Moses: are you nuts can my son walk, can he wee wee?
Hell woman I will sleep with one eye open for now on, you are one crazy woman,
they told me not to marry your crazy ass.
Don't you think that makes a better read???

What's up with JW parents taking their minor children to such desolate places? Like the English family that took their little kids to the jungles of Ecuador, and the Australians that took their little ones to Norfolk Island where hardly anyone lives, and they are the only children in a congregation of 11 publishers? Is this a new form of child abuse?

Tony has an interesting way of bragging about his two Bethelite sons, that he thinks make him look good. He can probably guarantee employment for them while he's alive, even with Bethel cutbacks. He can make them look good to their Bethel heavy bosses.

I don't get it.
Why do you talk about desolate places?
Norfolk Island is not a desolate place. It's a beautiful and interesting island and anything but child abuse to live there.
The same with the rain forest in Equador.
Or is it better to live in a crime infested mega city? Is that child abuse too?

according to quantum theory and non-locality, two particles, can act in unity.

for example, take a and b (photons or electrons for example).

pair them, then separate them, and put them on either side of the planet.

it's interesting to me anyway to see what the bible says the timeline of mankind is in relation to reality.

abraham was born roughly 2000 bce .
