I have wondered.As I said before on this post I believe all monies are controlled by someone other than the GB.The GB are a front and they do not know it.The GB say "No financial profit is made by any members of the GB,Officers of it's legal agencies(why do they have a ton of lawyers working for free BS) or other prominent persons associated with the ORG.(who are these other prominent persons some rich philantropes)
CT RUSSELL said "our society has not sought to lay up earthly riches"Look at all the real estate of the jw org today.It has been said "J.W. are the world biggest construction industry"
Those serve at Society's bethel homes said Russell"be provided food,shelter,moderate amount for expenses,enough for immediate needs but not provision for laying up money."----That same standard applies today. However, when you get old and cannot work we(the GB)WILL TELL you to leave and we WILL sell the building that you help build.
In the last few years the WBTS is asking all cong the PASS RESOLUTION for money.1.KHAA 2.COAA 3.world wide work 4.KHFUND 5.Donations 6.KH maintenence.etc,etc.
I know of an incident where an estate was donated to a local KH only to be donated to WTHQ.
They(whoever controlls this org) must have been planning for years to sell all the buildings in NY.They had sold their farm operations to make room for patterson,acquired land for new bldgs etc.Why bldg when they had all printing in place. OK enough all ready Bob
