Here in notheast ohio a kingdom hall closed and proceeds of the sale will go directly to nearby hall for total remodeling. So it's obvious any new hall or remodeling will be paid for from funds from sale of any sold kingdom hall. So basically it's a self funding project fund. Ok great so what are they doing with all the money coming in each month for the world wide construction work? Avg. Out 500 per congregation per month. Are laws broken here?

Hmph.
It's so transparent it barely qualifies as a "scheme".

Just the opposite of Scientology which is building lavish IDEAL ORGs worldwide which nobody fills because it's all a daft PR contrivance.

Are laws broken here?
It would seem like it, but everyone sends their money voluntarily. And as far as previous funds saved up and taken away- No congregation is going to hire a lawyer and sue Watchtower for taking their money.
If an actual law is being broken, someone has to bring it to the attention of the government and show that they have been damaged by the breaking of said law.

nowwhat?
I forgot the most important point. Publishers were asked to pledge a certain amount to fund "an urgent need to build over a thousand new kingdom halls". Since that is no longer taking place, would that be considered fraud?
