I saw this on another topic:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, $29008, 106369668. SKL, INC. HOME HEATING, PLUMBING & A/C, HOME HEATING & PLUMBING, $28556, 031818958 ...

Is "Circle of Friends" another corporation of the watchtower?
There are some interfaith ministries, I think they might be new, not sure, and they are called "Circle of Friends". Does anyone know more about this group and if its "trademarked" by the watchtower?
I'm curious cameo-d, have you come accross any scientologists in your travels on the net?

I am very curious to know if watchtower has started to participate in interfaith activities under another guise.
Then you need this, see below. It is the culmination of thought from the 2 other threads (there is a 4 th ...). I personally have bid on such projects (however, mine was definitely a M$ aerospace defense job; shame on me - not for a minute: I'm proud of it and will do it again; BTW, read my profile for proof that I never was a JW) and recognize exactly what is happening from both the JW side and the government contracting side.

I have ran into this technique coming from areas of Indian populations/reservation several times. They know how the system works. And the government contract awards system "gives points" for minorities, handicaps ands so forth: the more the better. Adding the non-profit religion category is a big plus.
So, I can't help but wonder if Bethel has found a way to get rid of elderly CO's/DO's, what have you, and get a government contract to pay for their care.
You may have hit on the way that they will do it!!!
So: is it a rogue congo pulling a local "fast-one" or is it an official, from the top, way to handle a CO/DO "old folks home"??
Worse yet: WTS hadn't thought of this, but read it on JWD and does it
