Islam is the only way of life open to servants of Allah. Being submissive is the only way to realise our God given blessings. allah will help us if only we ask for the right reasons. 2nd sura (The Cow). His word is full of wisdom and benefit and the scripturest that he has given us must be obeyed. His love abounds and when we leave him, he awaits our return with a patience of a father who awaits thwe return of his son who is lost without him. Allah be praised, Allah be blessed and Allah the Almighty be given all the glory that he deserves. May thw wicked return to doing good and to praising Allah all day long. Islam is the way, it is the only way. Our struggle, (our daily personal Jehad) in daily living according to Islam will only bring us blessings all day long, even until death if that must be. Allah Akbar

Hmmn indeedy....I have checked companies house in the UK and they confirm also that Co Ownership Registers Limited is about to struck off the companies register for what appears to be failing to lodge their accounts with them. Personally I think its some nut nut thats set up a company seperate to the WTS but why I wonder? Has Andy litigated against the watchtower perhaps and ended up worse off for it....who knows.
Mr Drozdowski well its clear that the vexatious litigant named above could well be the same person but we cant be sure...of course we could say what we wanted really because the Mr Drozdowski is prevented from litigating....
Sorry for hijacking the thread...when im allowed to start another thread i will!!
Nice work SF
income derived for 2003 = 20million in the uk alone...if this isnt a business i dont know what is... .
ibsa charged wtbts = 4million for accomodation and 'other facilities' for volunteers...are we to assume this is for the bethelites.....it doesnt cost 4million to house the volunteers and feed them does it??
the wtbts paid close to 0.75 million in management and administration....so that means that the management of the company earn close to 3/4million between them????
I'm not doubting you but I just have to ask the question that needs to be asked; Where do you get this information from?
This sort of info' can be dredged up from the 'net without too much problem but it is always good practice to quote your source.

You are quite right....sorry this thread was a follow on from where I announced I had obtained the accounts for the WTS....my only source as been Companies House. A link is included in my post; if you want to look for yourself feel free...its matter of public record anyway as you have intimated....if however you wish to save yourself £3 then let me know and Il email you a copy of the reports for 2003.
now that i'm finally back, having got my report out of the way for the current stage of my studies, i thought it about time i posted an update of my travels.. i recently had a "wee jolly" away from the island that wasn't without incident.. i left in the wee hours of the morning on friday 1st april, and i can assure you that catching a boat at 6:30am, with a poor weather forecast, is no joke.
having said my hellos to some fellow passengers, that i recognised, i decided to catch some zzzzzeds on one of the couches.. i awoke about three hours later, and rushed downstairs to the galley to get a big-ass full traditional breakfast (complete with black pudding, but no beans ).
after guzzling it down, the boat was near port, so i decided to splash some water on my face before heading down to the car deck.
LT...sounds like you have had a busy old time...good to hear of your experiences...good luck with your MBA.

Blondie just to throw a UK perspective on this...on one of my threads regarding their financial reports a post was made which disclosed a UK corporation called Jehovahs Witnesses which at the outset seems to be a business (a private unlimited company) it could be argued that this is a seperate organisation from the WTS given that their is no mention of IBSA House, Watchtower House, Ridgeway or anything connected with the WTS in the UK.
I have done a check on the owners and officers of this company....an Andrew Drozdoski and Co Ownership Register Limited...
There does appear to be a difference between the two organisations....but i shall keep you posted about any developments.
