The donations that come from the individual congregations must get sent directly to New York - do not pass "go" and do not collect $$$...go directly to Crooklyn.
The donations from each congregation exceed the total amount of revenue declared by the Canadian branch office.

Hard to believe they would shut down Canadian Bethel when they have been shifting all the printing there from the USA.
Doc
But...how can they print in Canada with only $9,676 in assets? I had said earlier that it was zero...but under 10 grand is like zero when your assets used to be over $160 million.
Who owns the Canadian branch assets like the new printing presses and such? Are those assets just part of the New York assets now? Paper shuffling? And why? Avoidance of Canadian tax laws?
not sure if this is the proper place to post this.
i have a book, it's 8.5 x 11. the cover looks exactly like the old "truth" book, complete with bible embossed on the cover.
slight title change.

talesin: It looks like they may be shutting down the TO Bethel?
Yup. It sure looks that way.
Consolidation. Protection of assets and holding them close to their chest.
I think they are preparing for legal problems and trying to block the seizure of assets to pay off court settlements and victim funds in Australia.
its the begining of the end for jws in exjw websites i have found all these branch headquaters have closed down.

estonia.

JWdaughter: Are there details anywhere for federal auditors? It looks fraudulent.
Reporting detailed financial information does not apply to the Watch Tower in Canada.
Complete Schedule 6 if any of the following applies to the charity:
a) The charity's revenue exceeds $100,000.
b) The amount of all property (for example, investments, rental properties) not used in charitable activities is more than $25,000.
c) The charity has permission to accumulate funds during this fiscal period.
The Canadian WT is reporting less than $100,000 in revenue for 2015.

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.
