I WONDER IF APOSTATES SHOULD BOYCOTT THE COMPANIES BEING INVESTED IN?

I hope they're not in AAPL then! I'd hate to boycott it. :)
Well, I'm in HOG, and I'll be damned if I'm going to sell it.

Alpha Omega asks:
(Am I reading this right? Are these all investments of the trust fund or there for market comparison?)
I can answer that. Please look at page 17 and page 1 of the 2005 tax return. On page 17 the amounts
298025.53
263356.86
are shown which are the same amounts on page 1. So yes, all the stocks listed on page 17 are in the Riley Trust fund. The Harley Davidson stock is interesting. It proves the WTS is living high on the hog
These tax returns for the Riley Trust fund make no attempt to dislose the owners of the land which is producing the oil and gas royalties!!!! Very suspect
It doesn't matter who owns the land -- only the mineral rights underneath it. More than likely, the WTS obtained the mineral rights by being the beneficiary of this will or trust.
The natural heirs may have lost everything, because, the WTS got it to "preach the good news of God's Kingdom - in these really. really, Last Days."
I'll bet there is some mad "Rileys" !

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.
I don't understand financial stuff at all, but I thought it an interesting coincidence that there is an attorney by the name of Patrick J. Riley who has an Oil & Gas practice in Jackson, MI. Because of the address for the Riley Trust being in Michigan and their surnames being the same and the oil & gas thing, I just wondered if there might be any connection of any significance. Probably not, but I seem to have a penchant for chasing wild geese...

There are lots of "Bed, Bath, and Beyond"s here. Whenever I say this name I pronounce the word "beyond" like how it is done in the intro to the Madness song "One Step Beyond", e.g. "Let's go to the Bed Bath, and Beyoooooooound!!"
Anyway, that's a cool chunk of change the Society received. Not it would help give medical benefits to their full-time pioneers or open a soup kitchen or whatever.
There is also a Leo M. Riley Company that contracts with Michigan Consolidated Gas Company.
It really is a whole lotta money just from this one Trust.
