Hi
Is there a way of showing a JW that the Society deals in stocks and shares and therefore it is ok for individual JW's to do likewise?
Thanks

Not only owns shares, but owns stock in weaponry, apparently.

Watchtower’s Investments
in Warfare Technology"The first casualty of war is The Truth."
Purpose The purpose of this review article is to determine whether the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc. (WT) owns shares of common stocks of armament-related industry and if positive, determine if they perform business transactions with the U.S. Department of Defense. Background The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Inc. (WT) portrays itself as a pacifist, neutral, non-profit religious organization and a "direct channel to God". As a sign of respect to God, Watchtower’s members – the Jehovah’s Witnesses – must not accept blood transfusions, take part in any political, governmental or military organization and can not perform business transactions with such institutions. Under some prophetic speculation, the WT teaches its members that the United Nations is the embodiment of "The Beast" spoken of in the Bible's book of Revelation and that Earth is "Satan’s kingdom". The WT claims that the only safe group to be, grow and reach salvation is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. The WT demands from its members high moral, social and "Christian" standards while condemning immorality and materialism. Once the new recruits accept the idea that the Watchtower is a "direct channel" of communication to God, they are told to accept every word coming from the headquarters located in Brooklin, NY. Questioning the doctrine or breaking any of its rules is equated to doubting the word of God himself and it is often severely punished by disfellowshiping (expulsion), which means this person must be shunned and ostracized by his/her own relatives and friends. Preventing independent thinking trough fear and guilt is a very effective thought-stoping process which allows the indoctrination process to implant more phobias and further the individual's need to belong and seek "shelter" under the mother organization, the Watchtower.Main Information Sources (Accessible trough enclosed hyperlinks, some of which are repeated as a reference to the cited statements.

I think it’s safe to assume they don’t hide their money in a hole somewhere. The people in finance would always like to quote Luke 19:11-27. People just assume they don’t own stock. Trying to connect WT to the military through a contract with HSOA is weak. HSOA provides restoration services to homes damaged by floods, hurricanes, etc.
What would get my attention is if there is evidence the WT used Katrina donations to purchase goods and services through HSOA vs. getting the best price. Then you would really have something.
