The Jehovah's Witnesses organization never publishes its financial statements. Yet it has billions of dollars in assets. If Jehovah's
Witnesses knew this, they would be scandalized and would stop giving money to the Watchtower society.
Some info:
From NewsDay.com:
2001 Report. Top 40 Revenue Generating Companies.
Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York 25 Columbia Heights,
Brooklyn, 11201
Revenue: $951 million U.S. dollars
Industry: Publishing
President: Milton Henshel
Employees: 3,415
It
takes a lot of printing to supply more than 6 million Jehovah's Witnesses with the materials for their ministry. One publication,
Watchtower, now has an average print run of 23 million copies twice per month, an increase of 7.5 percent over last year.
"Our
report for the year is different from a Wall Street company," said vice president George Couch. Indeed, the company's employees are
volunteers who live and work in the Brooklyn complex.
