    Just one Question! Why is everything so secretive with The Watchtower as to their assets? Most charitable organizations have or will provide a public accounting of how much they take in etc. But no accounting is given to the individual Jehovah's Witnesses other than there is a deficit at the conventions on the last day.

    Something's very wrong and 'fishey'!

    It seems that the WTS was a partial shareholder in RAM along with the Mazurkiewitz's. How the WTS became a shareholder in this company is anyone's clue. They could have been gifted the shares during one of those "We need your money" KM's that come out in November. Or the Mazurkiewitz's had the WTS come in as a partner at the beginning - highly unlikely though...

    The filing doesn't specify what percentage the WTS held in RAM, but the total sale came to over $10+ million when it was all said and done. Not that bad of a "donation."

    I wonder if any df'd children would have received those shares instead?

    yah right . Looks to me that they are playing the stock market as well as real estate.

    Except that RAM wasn't a publically traded company. Thus, the only way for the WTS to have obtained those common shares was to either, 1. Privately invest in RAM, or, 2. Inherit the common shares from a shareholder. I'm guessing the latter occured.

    Now is looking like some insider trading going on ............. Jourles the WTBTS is very sneaky when it comes to money . I just don't see why someone would give them stocks rather than cash the stocks in first and give them cash .
