I guess they want to get the most out of the sale by handling the transactions in house. No other corporation could have made more profits from the sales of these buildings because the WT not only purchased them at a low price, but also because they renovated and maintained them with donated money and free labour. -

Has anyone else collected their money back from local Kingdom Halls for money loaned for construction?
by StoneWall injust a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.
the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.
(not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

When I was doing the accounts an old widow wanted to make a donation to the WT. Decades ago her now defunct husband had opened up a bank account she just recently found out about. The few thousand dollars of then had grown to $40k and she felt her new found fortune would serve better the WT since she was doing OK prior finding out about the money. So I went to her house with an elder and he suggested that she should loan the money to the WT just in case she became needy at which time she could get some of it back as needed. In the case she never needed it, the loan would automatically turn into a donation to the WT. That's what she decided to do. It was clear that she didn't want the money to go to her non JW children, so this was the best way for them to never find out about it. I suspect that all these conditional loans are set up to turn into full donations at the death of the loaner.Link +3 / -0 -
