    Monty Gower, NZ branch co-ordinator for Jehovah's Witnesses, says technological advancements in digital communication, publishing and translation methods, and the consolidation of some New Zealand operations in Australia, mean the organisation no longer needs such a large property.

    "Jehovah's Witnesses are committed to maintaining a strong profile and presence in New Zealand and the funds released from the sale will be used in other charitable religious activities, particularly those which have strong community links," says Gower.

    Yeah, right.

    "This property could easily be converted to a variety of uses .... This is a great opportunity for astute purchasers."

    Spa? Resort? Golf course? Is there enough land for a golf course?

    I hope that is the beginning of the end of Jehovah's Witlesses in that fine country.

    That is llike a CREAM Asset, one i would think they would have NEVER sold.

    There is certainly more to this than what has been told here.

    THis is a scandal!.

    SHAME on you MONTY for holding the PARTY LINE!...

    and the funds released from the sale will be used in other charitable religious activities, particularly those which have strong community links,

    What stong charatible links do they have,, ZERO,,,, Never seen any charity benifit ever.

    Never seen them help anyone,,, what a dishonest statement MONTY!!!!...

    Split the money up and divy it up amoug the people that gave their savings to build it in the first place,

    Thats what any truly honorable person would do, remember all those that gave and laboured on this site,,,,, I am stunned they would waste away an amazing asset like this...

    Another branch being sold, this makes 9 or 10 in the past couple of years does it not ?

    This only makes me think its " Take the money and run time "

    Perhaps the inter-net is exposing the WTS to it being a deliberate fraud.

    So why not sell off your assets and morph perhaps into another religion with a different name and identity.

    What would you do if there were hundreds of millions of dollars in your controlling possession ?
