Thanks for the analysis!
dropoff,
They just could not bring themselves to list so many zeros. After all, "that would be discouraging to the brothers."
JB,
"clearly a minus"— now that would really "discouraging to the brothers." They can't have that!

JWGB,
over 10 million Bible studies each month!
How many are really "return visits" now renamed "doorstep Bible Studies"?
Now THAT'S fudging the figures.

Mexico has more congs than the US. Is that the first time that has occurred?
for all those who know who greg stafford is/was.
the former "apostate/apologist and author of three dissertations and other books, is on page 2 of the march 2016 meeting work book.

Nostromo,
Four years since your last post—welcome back. So is Stafford just using "Jah" as the divine name any more? Didn't he used to employ "Jehovah"? He seems to go off on tangents pretty regularly. Does he have his own group, or people who follow him somewhat? He uses "we" quite frequently and it seems to be more than his own family.

Thanks, Corney.
So if they do not intend to sell those two properties on Willow St., then they have some definite purpose for them. After all, they represent $1.7 million, and we all know how money hungry they are. Does anyone know why they are passing this up and keeping the properties? Do they still want to keep a presence in NYC? If so, why?

Corney,
Thanks. So there's still more money to be made with their property there: $817,000 + $886,000, or $1.7 million more. Do you know why they're holding on to it?
let's play a game of believe it or not, shall we?
i'll relate a story, and you decide whether you believe it or not.
what would you think of an elder who told his daughter's fiance that he would kill him if he ever did anything to hurt his daughter?
I agree with the foregoing comments. Human failings + the example of a corrupt GB = corruption at the lower levels in all kinds of forms. When I was in, I witnessed all sorts of examples of elders intervening and showing nepotism to their relatives and friends, and causing unfair treatment of lesser ones for personal gain. It's at least as old as, well, the Hebrew prophets!

Thanks Corney! In this other recent post,
the sources seem to be in conflict, with one (the Patch) saying that the 30 Front St. property just sold was their last holding, and another (YIMBY) reporting that "The Witnesses still own two small properties at 80 and 86 Willow Street."
I looked over the pdf you put together and could find no record of the sale of the 80 and 86 Willow St. properties (just 76 and 103). Do you know what the story is here?
https://patch.com/new-york/heights-dumbo/jehovahs-witnesses-sell-last-piece-former-brooklyn-headquarters .
dumbo, brooklyn — the jehovah's witnesses have officially moved out of brooklyn — or at least their headquarters have.
the religious group announced that they sold the last remaining piece of their former dumbo headquarters last week.
I'm not sure about the details. The Sept. 2018 YIMBY article says, "The Witnesses still own two small properties at 80 and 86 Willow Street." The Patch article says the 30 Front St. property was their last. Anybody know the real story?
