I googled that name and found a trust fund that is named after her. I also found the tax returns for 2005,2004,2003 for that fund. The Riley trust funds largest revenue is oil and gas royalties and in 2005 over 3 million dollars of oil and gas royalties flowed into the Riley trust fund. The Riley trust fund is a charitable organization as it supports a church namely the WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY. When I read these tax returns my suspicions were aroused. The Riley Trust fund recieves oil and gas royaties and gives the whole amount to the WTS as a charitable contribution. Yet the Riley trust fund claims to have no personal relationship with the WTS whatsoever. I find that hard to believe as this looks like tax evasion to me. So has anyone else noticed that??

It might be worthwhile finding out who administers the fund, and if they have an arms-length relationship with the WTBTS.

So is H M Riley the late H M Riley? and if so why did she want to give her assets to the WTS??. Was she a JW??? or related to JWs??
Is it possible the WTS has used H M Riley beyond her express wishes and used her unfortunate demise as an opportunity to launder oil and gas revenues throught her trust fund??
Further, someone has control over the oil and gas royaties . WHO ARE THE LAND OWNERS from which the oil and gas comes from??
Are these land owners related to the WTS in any way??

Page 16 states that there is no relationship between the donor and the donee (I wonder whether that means famiy relationship or relationship in the broader sense?)

I have to say that I thought that "Bed Bath and Beyond" was a fictional shop, created for the film "Click" !
We don't have them here... what is the "beyond" bit all about?
Please don't tell me that the WTBTS receive money from a trust that invests in supernatural remote controls that can control a person's life!

No, there really are these stores. They are large and sell sheets, towels, dishes, etc. for the home. Not as large as the ones in "Click." (or at least not that I know of)
