I remember vaguely about a construction of a JW HQ in the USA going back to either the 1960`s or 70`s when it was a query why such lavish furnishings were installed into this building ,and all I can recall was this grand staircase and I think Gold furnishings in the bathrooms etc.
And the Governing Body response was something like " Well look at what Christendom does for there false gods so what more should we do to honour the true God Jehovah "
I think there was a brochure about it at the time .maybe someone can remember it .
And it or they are a vast contrast to what KH`s looked like .
