  i made a post of this, but feel it warrants a thread.

  in central london ( paddington) the " property management company" we refer to as jehovers witnesses, bought a church building, which is now a kingdom hall, but with the outside appearance of a church.. i got an explanation from bethel " it's just a building".

  well let's give the organisation credit for its business sence.

  I failed to mention, basement flats, but what is a few million to a PROPERTY INVESTMENT Company?

  Seriously how can this " Religion" talk about its poor brothers and sisters that have to share a Watchtoer in underdeveloped countries?

  Thanks for the photo Spash.

  Now from the photo we can see how high the building is next to it. ( height and extend back)

  I believe we are talking 50 flats in the most EXSPENSIVE place to buy property in the world.

  in the future planning promission will be given.

  FACT is " THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY" is " A PROPERTY DEVELOPING COMPANY" And a dame good one.

  Were you happy giving YOUR money to this organisation FOLKS?

  Splash:- " To put valuations in to perspective, individual flats in that street go for 1 million each"

  Areeed, so let's turn the building and area ( we can build high, 4 maybe 6 floors?) So let's convert in to 50 flats. Hence my 50 million figure. ( I am sure the society has good architects and as a WEALTHY PROPERTY COMPANY good contacts at the council :-)

  Do you not agree it's possible?

  The Witnesses, prestigeous & derogatory titles.

  in egland we give " deserving" & " high flyers" titles.. this morning i was thinking i should have named my son president.

  i am sure it would have given him a great advantage in latter life.. so my questions:-.

  do you think when a publisher becomes a " ministerial servant" or an "elder":-.

  The only thought I now give CONVERATION is " All right for Individual Freedom" if that has nothing to do with " Religion" and we don't have to discuss " Politics" and we don't have to " agree"

  Je,suis:-

  agreed, and it never did make much sence that " Jesus" mixed with the drunks, the whores, and WORSE even the " CARPENTERS." Yet as J.Ws we avoided " such" people like they had the plague.

  I wonder if the above groups the society imply we should avoid, had money, would the society then say we should welcome them?

  found it, the former Church now a Kingdom Hall, is tucked away from what seperates Kensington from Paddinton. ( 11 Monmouth Road)

  Now if that's not a good property investment rather than religion I am religiouse.

  i am sure all the sheiks and their neighbours visit meetings regularly. Yet the society ask money for world wide donations......and they bought this when the end was just around the corner.

  Good question Splash:-

  I am trying to find pictures because it's an impressive building more like a Cathederal than a church. ( I mean Kingdom Hall) The address is either Monmouth Road, London, W2, or Princess Square Gdns ( they are the 2 Kingdom Halls listed in Paddington)

  I am 90% certain it's Monmouth Road. Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

  Well let's give the organisation CREDIT for its business sence. the building was I am sure purchased with cash and not CREDIT.

  Anyway that purchase made over 30 years ago, will I believe make 50,000000 if in the future.

  Why do I say this?

  i believe that former " church" building will obtain planning permission to be converted in to flats. Therefore those figures are not absurd this is PADDINGTON, CENTRAL LONDON,where to purchase property 12 times the national average is required for a mortgage.

  I have no problems with the business investment, but I recent a PROPERTY company hiding behind Religion.

  Now the point I want to make is that I generally believe the money donations are not what the society is interested in. I believe this is a smoke screen and that they are more interested in getting members to leave property in a will to the society.

  I say this because the society is to me " A PROPERTY COMPANY" first ( and a very RICH one) Second a religion ( and a very POOR one)

  Personally i believe I know 3 witnesses possibly leaving homes to " The Propert Company"

  Why do I think this?

  Only that I know these people asked the elders to witness the will, and I know how the society views members wealth, they want it.

  In the CENTRE of LONDON, ( PADDINGTON) the organisation bought a church, it is now a Kingdom Hall, but the outside is still a church building.

  I got an explanation from the bethel " it's just a building".

  I would say in my cynicle mind this was a purchase by a business lead organisation.

  But credit where credit is due, the organisation are financial geniuses.( I suspect that building was bought with cash and not credit)

  Seriously that purchase will in my opinion make 50, 000000.if in the future if the building can be converted in to flats.( My figures are not absurd this is PADDINGTON central London where property to purchase is 12 times the average income & it was purchased 30 years ago)

  This is a society that fleeces money from the congregation. Now let's talk facts, how many leave there homes to the society in wills? It's f..king discussing that this criminal activity is legal.

  Songs from an era, create the nostalgia & sentiment of a past we once lived ( so many memories, and happy times can be remembered by putting on a song from our past)

  .....

  OH Oh it's magic never believe it's not so"

  Pilot.

  ......

  " Oh what ever happened to you?

  Oh what ever happened to me?

  What became of the people we used to be?

  Today went by so fast,

  The only thing to look forward to the past"

  Highly Likely.
