Yea, they had some announcement about that at our hall a week or 2 ago. Posted the by-laws on the board. I actually went up and read the whole thing, much to the surprise of our COBE, who "figured nobody would wanna read that stuff". Looks like standard legal stuff about the congregation having a board of directors, how they are elected, procedure for replacements, how expenses are handled, voting on expenses/procedureal changes, etc.

"Page 3, Article XI - DISSOLUTION
Upon dissolution of the Congregation, after paying or adequately providing for debts and obligations of the Congregation, the remaining assets shall be distributed to Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc."
That is the line that means owned by WTBS.
Dispurse the members to other halls then disolve the non-profit religious corp, sell the property and monies go to WTS.
