FTM - Even though I agree with much of what you have written, your anger is unmistakable. Perhaps some introspection might help you refocus? Just a suggestion...

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Free TheMasons - I brought up the Homestead exemption because it is a common provision for homeowners in all the counties of NC. It is almost never itemized in the tax bill however. The amount of tax for a house with that value is very low - lower than other homes in the area that are rented (rental homes do not qualify for homestead exemption).
WTC is smart enough to know that falsely claiming Homestead Exemption when the owner is not living on the premises, results in a steep fine.
Along with the photo of his car and the report by one of the posters who saw him in the driveway indicates that he does indeed live at that address. This seems hard for you to believe for some reason - I don't know why. He has to reside somewhere.

Oh my, the "letter" is over 200 pages long. Seriously, if you want to make an impression, cite the scriptural support - don't quote it. Get to the point and keep it concise. We all know that WTC never reads dissent anyway, but most of us won't read something this long. I am sorry to be blunt.

As Slim said, phones listen and then ads that draw upon key words are used to target the user. I have noticed this happening many times. I do think that it is an invasion of privacy.

The tax bill amount indicates that someone is getting homestead exemption. To get that, the residence has to be the primary residence of the person listed on the tax bill.

I know an elder who thought that abhorrent "gay" porn only applied to men/men. He was shocked when it was pointed out that it applied to women/women as well. Apparently, he was watching abhorrent female gay porn and thought it was not abhorrent. When I heard the story, I had to laugh out loud. Seeing him at assemblies, I could hardly keep a straight face.

...and yet the USSS was unable to crack the search history and communications of the kid who shot Donald Trump.
Hmmmmm....
Recently I was talking to someone and I mentioned a product that I might purchase. An hour later, I received an ad for that product. I knew that my phone listened to conversations that were had on the phone, but this was an in-person conversation. I consider that to be an invasion of privacy.

UBS focused on tax avoidance for its clients. However, WTC pays no taxes, so what is the lure of placing former UBS executives in the newly formed Ireland Corporations?
Possible Answers: It appears that they are being used to receive all assets so that they can do one or more of the following:
1. Leverage these properties to extract value without liquidating them. Meanwhile members continue to pay monthly payments for the use of the KHs they already paid for previously. These monthly payments go toward the equity draws that have been taken. Essentially they are now renting what they previously owned.
2. Use the equity draws taken from properties under their management to "invest for profit". The Directors are former investment bankers. No doubt they were very persuasive in claiming that they could grow funds.
3. Liquidate any properties that are not being adequately paid for by congregations. Take the proceeds and invest for profits. The congregations are displaced but who cares? They were not paying their share.
4. Use one of the 3 corporations to manage payments (transfers) of funds IN and OUT. This is a complicated transactional business, calling for meticulous management to avoid money laundering prohibited by the countries that WTC operates in.
5. Pay WTC what is needed, when it is needed. Such payments are tax-deductible of course. The current corporations used by WTC have/will have no accumulated assets because such were transferred into the Ireland Corporations. They will essentially be corporations on paper only for the most part. When a CSA lawsuit arises, there are no funds to be taken. The accuser has no standing to sue the Irish corporations that have the assets that USED to be in the PA Corporation, the NY Corporation, or the Christian Congregation of JWs. The accuser could go after the local congregation elders but that is almost always a dead end. Individual elders can declare bankruptcy.
Any of the above provide WTC new protections from CSA lawsuits, and help them manage assets without fear of new financial attacks. As an internal safeguard, a board of directors on each of the 3 corporations is made up of loyal Bethelites who can monitor the CEO to make sure that funds are used as intended, even generating profit if the investments produce as planned. It is likely that any funds they receive personally will be donated back to WTC, which will then transfer those donations back to Ireland. The Bethelites will be within the guidelines of their 'vow of poverty'.
Even though it is likely that WTC will not be breaking laws - it is NOT what members expect them to do with dedicated funds. What would Jesus do?
