Hello!
In trying to help another poster uncover different WT corporate names, I came across some interesting information I thought I would share. This goes hand in hand with the orange grove information being posted right now. Maybe someone out there can shed some light on this as well! It's kind of a long post, but I've highlighted the most important information. So please bear with it through the end because I think you will be surprised at where this goes.
I'm going to start with the WT CA Corporation Filing. It's pretty self-explanatory.

The next document has two different types of listings. The first part of it lists current and past Assessor's (tax) records, and the second parts lists sales records for the past 10 years.
How this document works is the most recent information is on top, and decends in reverse chronological order. You will notice that on the Sales Record, James McCabe, the Attorney, is not listed as one of the parties this piece of property was sold to. I'm not sure if that is because McCabe was not a party to the sale, or if for some reason, his name was left off the sales record. But the fact that he is on the Assessor's record, which is the actual deed to the property, shows that he is in fact, one of the owners of the property. The most interesting aspect of these documents is who is listed as the Mortgage Lender.
You will notice also when you get to the Sales Record, that no mortgage lender is listed. Usually (not always) this means there was NO mortgage lender, which means, that the party purchasing the property paid for it in cash.

The Standard Use Code is how the property is zoned. This property is zoned as Agricultural - Orchard. Why is the WT serving as a private mortgage lender to two private parties for something other than a Kingdom Hall, and one of those parties just happens to be one of their attorneys?

So, what do you think is going on here? Why would the WT be serving as a private mortgager to one of their attorneys? Do you think the average JW is aware of how their hard earned (but never enough) contributions are being spent?
