P.S. Kent, , you should publish the conversion figures for the USA and the UK Financial statements. I do think it gives "a wider
spectrum of reactions".

G'day Mac,

Thanks for the post. It has me puzzled.(Perhaps I'm getting old!)

We have houses of worship (Kingdom Halls) in 234 lands around the world

I understand that the WTBTS is a publishing company, but what's this about "having" Kingdom Halls "around the world"?

Since the WTBTS is declaring Nil assets, I presume these Kingdom Halls are actually rented premises?

Here in Australia we have two corporations. The WTBTS of New York dfoesn't operate here. We have the WTBTS of Australia, and Jehovah's Witnesses Congregations which holds titles to all the Assembly Halls and Kingdom Halls in Australia.

So I'm puzzled by the statement in the New York corporation's report. Or am I missing something?

Cheers,
Ozzie

Hello Ozzie, Expatbrit and others,

thanks for your comments.
Let the " dices roll"....and fast with all these
financial statements coming from "non profit"
philantropic organisations, Inc., corpor. etc.

Keep on knocking...and it will
be opened...agape J.C.MacHislopp

Mac:

That's interesting.

I'm not sure whether the zero assets and revenue indicates a lack of information at Guidestar, or if the New York corporation actually is a zero company (in which case all the assets and revenue are routed through the Penn. company).

Have you requested the audited financial statements?

Hello Expatbrit,

thanks for your comments. About this one:

I'm not sure whether the zero assets and revenue indicates a lack of information at Guidestar, or if the New York corporation actually is a zero company (in which case all the assets and revenue are routed through the Penn. company).

Have you requested the audited financial statements?"

you do realize that for us in Europe, it is quite a difficult
request; not so much for the fees but for the mailig of the
documentation, unless we find a system.

I'm sure that most of us would like to see those financial
reports, from the " expert" posted all over the places!!!

I do enjoy ...exchanging points with you,
and I do believe you have some...fast lanes to get informations.

Agape, J.C. MacHislopp

P.S. I'm convinced that this kind of
"subject" is very hot for ...them!

Kent

Kent, , you should publish the conversion figures for the USA and the UK Financial statements. I do think it gives "a wider
spectrum of reactions".

Huh??? I'm not sure what you mean here. Hmmm.
Can you send me these figures?
