  The dubs sell a hall to a free church.

  Source: http://www.badische-zeitung.de/weil-am-rhein/gemeinde-gottes-kauft-koenigreichsaal--123461266.html

  Price: 388.000 EUR around 431.200,00 USD. (Exchange today)
  

  Some thoughts:
  The price sounds interesting. We have the time of the brexit (it hurts my heart - but skip this), so skip a little bit back. If you change the date a little bit, you be nearly around 440.000,00 USD. It don't make a difference, but this could be a sign that the headquarter more then involved in the sales and all the sales planed there.

  I like how they can sell crap to Babylon the great but we have to not take jobs from them not buy thier stuff not enter into thier building etc.

  Did the congregations build a new one and consolidate or just build a new one or just consolidate into another hall?

  It's not in my area, but no new hall so far - it would be on the news. I research them nearly daily for witness-stuff.

  But here is an enorm reducing to see. You don't see it in the numbers from the bOrg. They merge 2 congs to one but nearly the same amount of language-groups built.

  Dealing with "Babylon the Great".

  Gosh, never saw that coming.

  Personally, I think KHs are better suited as community halls.

  Less refurbishing needed.

  There also some halls, reworked as a normal house. They looking very nice - I see a picture from US some month before.

  Our Kingdom Hall was sold to a church several years ago. One day dedicated to Jehovah, the next day turned over to Christendom.

  So I can't do any work on a church or enter one for a wedding or funeral but WT can sell one to be used as a church? This is the epitome of hypocrisy! It sickens me.

  I wonder if any members of the church are concerned about demons? Lol

  It makes,sense and i would see this duplicated. Zoning usually plays a factor in how many religious institutions can be in a given area, and even the use of certain buildings once built

  At this point, double-standards are a full-on art form. :smirk:

  Does that mean $440,000 US? If so, it's not that much. Depending on the location, it could easily be much more.
