Most are deeded to the organization. They are trying to get them all under their control after the KH in Texas was taken over by the trustees on the deed to become a different church.
I forget the name of the town, but I am sure someone else will comment and fill in the blanks.

I think we would all like to know what happened to the Bonham Texas K.H.as that thread is 8 years old anyone ?
And didn`t the WT come out unscathed with the Menlo Park K.H.? from memory !

Menlo Park = Yeah watchtower legally slithered out of it by admitting they were "just like the catholic church" and throwing the body of elders under the bus.
