I am trying to locate the corporate information on this....
I recall threads saying that this is an entity of the WTBTS.
Can someone direct me to that thread or help me get some information?
Thanks!

The page below lists all the businesses owned by the WTS. There are links to these businesses' WebSites.
I particularly like this JW-operated business.

They even have a slogan:
When you stay with us you get no worldly fuss!LOL.
Forgetting that their exploiting their proximity to Bethel in search of the almighty dollar makes them as "worldly" and "materialistic" as the next person.
Shouldn't they be out pioneering instead of running a business to make money?
Well, I answered my own question.
I went to the web site and saw an 800 #. I called.
Mike answered at CircuitLeasing and I said I was interested in getting some info on a vechical...but first, is CircuitLeasing affiliated with the Jehovahs Witnesses?
"Well, are you a JW?" Mike asked
"I am getting info for my mom, who is and needs a new car."
"Well, I am a JW, and yes we are."
"Where do you get the vechicles?" I asked
"They are circuit overseers cars."
"How many miles do they usually have?" I asked
"Well, we have one coming in with 50,000 miles and it's a nice one."
"What type of warranty do you offer?" I asked
"Well, the warranty has run out and you can purchase an extended warranty...it is 15.95 or 19.95" Mike answered
"Is that 15.95 per month?" I asked
"No, that is $1595.00 for 3 years, and $1995.00 for 4 years...you do get a full refund of that if you do not use the warranty after that time period." Mike answered
"May I send you some information?" Mike asked
Panic....I told him it was for my mother...if she gets info she won't know what to do with it.
"What congregation does she go to?" Mike asked
I answered the one where I live...I gave my name and address (saying it was my mom, so hopefully the mail lady will deliver my packet. I used my maiden name.
"Do you know Brother XXXX at XXXX congregation?" Mike asked
"Well, no, I am getting this for my mother."
"Ooohhh." Mike said....he realized I am not an active JW.
Should be interesting information when (if) I get it. I wonder how Mike has time for field service, manning an 800 cust svc line and arranging delivery of autos?
DOH!! If he knows Brother XXXX in the cong, he will probably call to get the info on my mother, who does not go there or even live nearby.
Perhaps some other sluth still in the borg can get some info?
I wonder....will these two companies NOT do business with you if you're an ex-JW? That is definately against the law. Just wondering.....
Someone...please call them and ask! I don't think Michael gets that many calls. He might recognize my voice...I wonder if they will offer to sell to a DF'd person...
The # is 616-940-2000 or 1-800-554-6454
I called the 800 #
PS the web site is: http://www.circuitleasing.com/contact/index.htm

I just sent them an e-mail asking that question.
Thanks Roybatty! I hope they respond.
Try the search with "Circuit Leasing" and you should get all the other threads.
