The WTBTS owned this land.
Google maps says this address is a Cardiology Institute.
Another move toward an online religion.
I’d’ve thought that, too, but Covid / Zoom made it so easy for so many to fade, I can’t help but think they’re having second thoughts about it.
This is a fun link to peruse if you like to see Watchtower properties sold and for how much...
Scroll down to "Real Estate" section and select "Watchtower Property Sales Tracking"

From EasyPrompt's link: "Like the neighborly Samaritan in Jesus' illustration, we want to help suffering people, including those who are not Witnesses. (Luke 10:33-37) The best way to do so is by sharing the good news with them. "It is important to make clear right away that we are Jehovah's Witnesses and that our primary mission is to help them spiritually, not materially,"
Well, it looks like the meaning of the Good Samaritan story whooshed right over their heads; the Samaritan was considered the true neighbour because he provided material help, not because he preached anything. 🙄
The JWBorg leaders learned something from the "Good Samaritan" account...
"“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jerʹi·cho and fell victim to robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went off, leaving him half-dead."
The WTBT$ is willing to fleece their flocks and then abandon them when they are not "useful" anymore.
Instead of being like the proverbial "Robin Hood" who robbed from the rich to give to the poor, these guys rob from the poor to make themselves rich...
(That's just a fraction...)
There was a Kingdom Hall in Berrien County MI the Coloma cong.
It was sold but the tax records still list -
always nice to see when a kingdom hall gets sold off
