Not just the JW's but every organization are always so quick to throw up the discrimnation card if things don't go their way. In this case it was an industrial area there should have been no way they should have got this approved.

It's Religious Discrimination because our religion is all about not paying taxes. Plus, if we sue somebody for Rel. Dis., they will either settle for a big amount, or we'll get awarded a big amount.
Plus plus, if we make people mad about it and they start slamming us in the news, then we're being persecuted which proves we're the twoo religion!

May be this is a bit of a wild conspiracy theory. I wouldn't mind betting that they are going to pull a similar stint as they done in Guadalajara Mexico.
i wonder if they deliberately brought that property knowing that there would be probless with it. Then they can turn around and tell the rank and file that due to council opposition the idea has been Terminated. In the mean time they have pocketed just over $8 mill, plus got the proceeds from 2 other properties. Just say that they lost $3 mill in having to fight the council, and if they were forced to sell the property at a loss. They have still made $5 mill in money they wouldn't of other wise had. Makes sense to me and all the while the R&F is none the wiser.

Building in an industrial area makes sense if you are keeping resale value in mind. It is tough to find a buyer who is willing to wait for rezoning in a residential area (where traditionally churches are built).
