I have some files in pdf format - downloaded from the SEC a few months ago - the SEC Registration form and Annual Reports for 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 - EVERY ONE of these documents names the Watchtower Society as a major shareholder.
If anyone would like to host them, I'll be happy to send them to you. Simon? Randy?
I have Adobe pdf files of documents that were filed with the Securities Exchange Commission by RGUS on the following dates:

These documents were compiled by Thomson Financial for filing with the SEC. I wonder what the penalties for knowingly filing incorrect information with the SEC might be, particularly if the fraudulent filings were made to evade taxes, as with a "gift" to a religious organization. I wonder if the WTS cares if their devotees get in legal trouble while the reputation of the WTS is buffed to a brilliant shine?
