7 Governing Body Members = 21 Condo Apartments ?

Alfred

A few years ago, a bethelite mentioned to me that each GB member has an apartment in Patterson, Walkhill and Brooklyn... a total of 21 condos...

Now, assuming this is true, I'd like to make an extremely conservative estimate of these condos...

If each condo is worth only $250,000 US, that's still a total of $5.25 Million. Assuming the furnishings are worth on $50,000 for each apartment, that's another $1.05 Million. Add to that number their vehicles (worth roughly $30K), that's another $630K... All told, we're looking at a number well over $7 Million (by this conservative estimate)...

Any ex-bethelites care to shed some light on this subject? thanks!

Um yeah sorta?!?

They do have residence/apts at each location but you have to understand that the patterson and farm upgrades came via volunteer construction workers. So its not like they went out and bout condos/ apts at real estate value.

I was at bethel from 94-96 and for the most part a lot of stuff about the GB gets sensationalized. Its not so much they live this super plush lavish lifestyle, its the perks they enjoy.

While they may not live in the lap of luxury, they are living off the generosity and gullibility of the people they've lied to. If it were any enterprise other than religion, they would be in prison for fraud, where they would also have free housing and three squares a day.

Luke 9 v 58 "And Jesus said, "Foxes have dens, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man doesn't have a place to call his own".

A bit of a contrast in lifestyles , let alone attitudes, there ?

Does this mean that the G.B are not really following the Master ?

As pointed out in another thread today, Jesus only served 3.5 years....these guys have a career.
