  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  JP Morgan Alternative Property Fund Domestic I, LP
  
  “An open-end enhanced real estate fund investing in alternative property types such as hospitality, for-sale housing, and non-income producing investments in development and redevelopment.”
  
  “A $600mm real estate fund focused on non core property types including student housing, assisted living, self storage, and hospitality.”
  
  Zamansky & Associates LLC Investigates JPMorgan’s Alternative Property Fund
  
  New York, New York (PRWEB) March 03, 2013
  Zamansky & Associates LLC is investigating sales of JPMorgan’s Alternative Property Fund, Greater China Fund, Fleming European Property Fund and U.S. Real Estate Income & Growth Fund hedge funds (the “Funds”). The investigation focuses on whether these Funds were suitable for, and the risks properly disclosed to, investors by the financial advisors who sold them.
  
  On August 9, 2012, a lawsuit was filed against J.P. Morgan Securities LLC by an investor in these Funds. The case is Esrisk Investments LP v. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Docket No. 652764/2012, Supreme Court, State of New York. The lawsuit details numerous alleged misrepresentations made by J.P. Morgan in the sales of the Funds.
  
  Zamansky & Associates LLC is investigating the sales of these Funds to other investors. According to Jake Zamansky, “the Funds, like most hedge funds, are speculative and high risk investments that are not suitable and appropriate for conservative investors or retirees.” The Funds are also not suitable or appropriate for most retail investors who are inexperienced or unsophisticated, and cannot truly appreciate the risks, Zamansky believes.

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  Wonder if any of these are affected?
  
  They Offered Themselves Willingly—In Mexico
  The Watchtower (Study Edition) April 2013
  
  

  Upon completing high school, Essly was offered a university scholarship. Peers encouraged her to accept it and to pursue a “normal life”—get a degree, a career, a car, and take time to travel. Yet, she did not follow their advice. … I wanted to use my youth to serve Jehovah to the full.”

  JW responds in comments:
  

  I bet they would not have felt this way if it was anonymus with money inside instead of the material that was attached.

  Local father offended by Jehovah's Witness letter, claims its writer is targeting obituaries
  
  JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A local father who wishes to remain anonymous sent Action News Jax a copy of a letter sent to his family's church.



  The letter read in part: "Sorry about your loss. I read about it from the obituary."
 


  Jehovah’s Witness literature was attached to the letter.



  “In a time when a family is grieving they need to be surrounded by family and friends. That's not a time for a person to proselytize their views,” the father said.

  WT Failure To Engage In Charitable Works

  i never was a jw.. wtbts and its hydra-headed organisations world wide has charitable status.

  yet, as far as i can see, it carries out little or no real charitable works.. last weekend my son and his friends did a 420 km cycle ride and mountain walk in aid of a local hospice at home charity.

  they've raised (so far) 5,000. this charity makes a real difference.. this a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijr7ipvrek&feature=youtu.be.

  Joe Grundy, that was beautiful. Your son and his friends rock!
  
  And what a great example to set for the kids. They look genuinely HAPPY to be on the support team.
  
  Meanwhile… Saturday morning here in the states… JW children will be dragged door-to-door in business attire, handing out free tickets to the Titanic as the Garbaging Body (LOL!) rearranges the deck chairs.
