Millie210 " When did the above property become J.W property?
I haven't looked on the Land registry, but definatly during the latter time frame in which " the generation that saw 1914" was not going to pass away. ( I believe 30/ 40 years ago)
But the point is it was purchased for PROPERTY investment, whilst the 3rd world congregations go with out a K.H.

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":-.
Hoser that is true. that is why I started my O.P " in England we give "deserving" and " High flyers" titles.
Tony Blair, Ambassador for peace.
Sir Jimmy Seville ( disgusting pervert)
The list of people not deserving titles is endless and it includes sportsmen and prime ministers, even kings and queens.
But the point is I am talking about life in the K.H. A PLACE where we are taught titles mean nothing.

Gayle can you imagine the consequences if the local priest knocked on your door collecting for the poor?
If you gave him a brick ( as a witness) you would be disfellowshipped.
But the PROPERTY management company we call " Jehovers Witnesses" can buy " Churches" from the Church of England.
The hypocrocy astounds me...
Who here has like " Jesuis" and I, known people leave on death, their home to the society?

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 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.
