This just popped up this morning in my news briefs.
Guess they'll start asking for money to build a new building now.

They only got 500,000 for it, which sounds low to me.

...and people wonder why the WTS pushed to have all Kingdom Halls and other buildings used by JWS to be legally titled toward the WTS. ?
The WTS/JWorg is now worth billions around the world.
Money the life blood of this and all religions. $$$

"Dear local brothers, we are pleased to inform you that you will have the privilege of driving 30 miles to your new kingdom hall! Surely we see jehovahs hand in the matter as he will continue to bless your efforts!"

At 5,500 SF this cannot really be an "Assembly Hall" as stated in the article, rather, just a typical Kingdom Hall (as it says 2 congs). I'm surprised they sold it for 50% of what the country says it is appraised. They are usually "shrewder" than that when it comes to finances, but then again, it was build on the cheap with inexperienced free labor over 30 years ago. Half a million more for Zalkin & Others PC.

@ drop off your key lee
$500,000 seems low to me too but it’s still a $500,000 profit

Zoom meetings were never necessary from beginning. Lot's churches have regular meetings. It's all about selling building's.
