You betchya' !!! The Borg elite at Bethel live like kings and they are able to do it without reporting any personal income. They are no better than the fundie televangelists who do the same thing. They probably have so many layers of fake corporations, trusts, holding companies, and divestitures that Sherlock Holmes would have a hard time tracing the money. If there is one thing the Borg leadership is, it is shrewd and coniving.
I can easily envision the leadership obscuring the wealth and the money to ensure that they continue to live a lavish lifestyle with relative anonymity.

They are probably getting ready for another Armegedon, they probably think Brooklyn will be hit harder than it was in 1975 when they had their last big A.
I'd be more concerned about the Muslems than Jehober.

They've been trying to make sure that the halls are a bit more safe, so as to prevent lawsuits. They asked all the brothers to make sure that bookbags stay out of the aisles so that people don't trip on them and sue the organization!!

Was it the destruction of the WTC buildings in 2001 that started The Watchtower to consider moving away from Brooklyn?

The WTC was such a huge tragedy, I wonder if the event would have been viewed as of comparable magnitude, or indeed, if so many lives would have been lost, had the planes flown into the Brooklyn complex instead? Not sure if I wish I had happened that way or not, as many on this board have family or friends who might have perished had that occurred.
Given how WTBTS has ruined so many peoples lives, I think many would have been actually happy to see their property destroyed, especially if the buildings were empty at the time.
