Yep it's legit. There have been several posts on it already.
If you've got a couple spare million $ lying around, you can live where the Bethelites used to.
How would the average rank and file publisher feel about this if they found out do you think?

"How wonderful that Jehovah sees fit to have capable brothers oversee the real estate transactions, instead of hiring a worldly firm! And how wonderful that there will now be more money available for the worldwide work! Isn't it wonderfully wonderful how wonderful our wonderful Jehovah is? It's wonderful!"
Yeah, you are probably right.
It is so depressing
Wonder if I should send this to my well-off pioneer and elder family. They are clearly wasting their retirement funds. They will need them. It's so obvious that the WTS is stealing money from the gullible rank and file left and right. Maybe just ask her as if I was still in. Anyone should be able to see the leaders are tricksters. Well, maybe not since it's mind control that they've gotten away with this for so long. Say something to them like "What is this? I'm shocked! Didn't they recently send missionaries and CO's home for lack of funds!!??" I'm carefully going considering bringing this up. Grrr!
I like how the website has pics of a Tavern and Ale house. Clearly very "worldly" where low life degenerates would hang out. In our area we get in trouble for stepping foot in a bar. But i guess if it sells real estate, the big J is ok with it.
longgone if you look on the watchtowers own website you can see sam hurd one of the GB telling you of all the 1000s of people from bethel that were going to be kicked out.Also on an exjw website called jw survey they have a downsizing section where they tell of many downsizing things that the watchtower have done.Ihave been on the offical jw website and checked that these 3 items are all true.
In 2012 the watchtower closed 20 branch headquaters around the world
They tell you that they are moving from prime new york city land to build a new bethel and also in london they are moving from prime city places to a town 30 miles out of central ondon

Funny how they make no warranty as to the facts, and encourage independent verification of their "facts" when it comes to real estate, but they don't encourage independent verification when it comes to more important matters - when they publish so called "spiritual facts"
I got into a discussion about this a couple days ago with another PIMO Dubya. It is too bad that it appears this web site/business is no longer operating. Did the Dubs try to run and hide again?
