Hmmmph...
If you do a search on the Canadian Branch address - 13893 Highway 7, Georgetown, ON L7G 4S4 - a website company is listed as being at the same address.
And the Google maps street view for Nova Networks?
Well...it shows the Watch Tower Society.

And...did you notice that of the five directors named, the earliest start date of their appointments was September 2014? All bright and shiny new faces.
It appears like New York has exerted their control and taken over all the assets for the Canadian Branch. I wonder if that is so the upcoming court cases that the WTS anticipates won't be able to seize the assets of WT branches.
I wonder who is listed as owner of all the WTS property in Canada.

Assets for the Canadian branch in 2014 were listed as being worth $91,645,960. And $148,806,787 in 2013.
And now they have zero in assets??
It seems like the Canadian branch has now been subsumed by the New York branch.

Holy crap.
Where did all the money go? And property?
Did the charity own land and/or buildings? 4050 No
Total assets (including land and buildings) 4200 $ 9,676
Did the charity issue tax receipts for gifts? 4490 Yes
If yes, enter the total eligible amount of all gifts for which the charity issued tax receipts. 4500 $ 14,605
Total other gifts received for which a tax receipt was not issued by the charity (excluding amounts at lines 4575 and 4630) 4530 $ 4,599
Total revenue (add lines 4500, 4510 to 4570, and 4575 to 4650) 4700 $ 19,204
So...the Canadian branch donations only totaled $19,204?
And, the WTS of Canada doesn't own any property???
The WTS has done some major re-structuring.

Oh, so the JW led unit for non-blood surgery wasn't as good as it should have been and the patient died? Wow!
Exactly.
The perpetuated myth of "us" versus "them" in the medical world is erroneous. It is actually "us" versus "us". There is no "them" in this situation.

TheListener: And since when do JWs control bloodless surgery units right in the hospitals themselves?
They always have. Who do you think established the bloodless surgery units to begin with? Many of the bloodless units have been founded by and are run by JWs.
One of the very first bloodless units was established by a JW - Jan Castro at Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center in Chicago back in 1987.
...Jan Castro, coordinator of the Center for Bloodless Medicine and Surgery. She is a licensed practical nurse and a Jehovah`s Witness.
I guess I don't get it. The person wanted bloodless surgery, got bloodless surgery and died. Why is anyone owing the family money?
Because the standard of care at the bloodless unit was below standard.
hello all i am fairly new to this site even though i have been da since i was 16 years old i am now 35 years old.
i have had very little contact with my family since i left maybe a handful of times over the years.
i thought i put the past behind me and moved on i have 4 amazing kids of my own really supportive partner and great friends who have become my family.
Leela: However, I am worried about going back and dealing with him again and all the emotions it will bring and whether it is really worth going through it as he probably has not changed.
My question is if any of you have been DA or DF from your family and have had little to no contact did you reach out to your family members for closer later on? Or do any of you have any direct experience dealing with a JW family member who passed away? Did you get to go to the funeral? What happened? were you allowed at the service or the wake? How did you find seeing your family members after such a long time with no contact? Any comments would be helpful before I make the decisions to try to see my dad.
Yes, if you decide to go see your father, it will bring up all sorts of extreme and difficult emotions.
However, on the plus side, you will be in the position of being the one with the power. Going to see your father could be quite healing for you - just to be physically in the room with him when he is powerless and you have all the power, could be very empowering for you.
He will be the one who is sick and without power - you will be the powerful one. You will have the strength when he has none. You will no longer be the child with the powerful father - you will be the adult with all the power.
Good luck. And don't forget that you are all grown up now - you are no longer that child without power. Walk into the room as the adult woman you are. Bravely and without fear.

Relax??
Don't be condescending.
You had a standard, pre-programmed response to the OP that stated an inaccurate opinion and painted the JW's "hospital support system" as being superior. It isn't.
I think you should be the one who relaxes.

DY: Regardless...
Yeah...regardless of your inaccurate and knee jerk reaction....
jworg is carrying a "news" article concerning their recent win of a telly award.. i don't need to add to the jworg website hits, so here is the award listed on the telly award website:.
https://www.tellyawards.com/winners/list/?l=jehovah%27s&event=16&category=3&award=b.
2015 online video bronze winners.
Juan: Worthless on a resume, unless the hiring manager has no idea what a Telly is.
Or...as in the case of JWorg, it is worthless unless the people reading the JWorg website have no idea what a Telly is. For the Watchtower, those purchased statuettes are pure gold to be used as propaganda tools.
