a local congregation is the owner.
(this hall occupies an area of 1000sq ft).
other khs to be sold too.... i don't know how many.
Around 10 years ago all English and Welsh (Scotland was slightly different as is there law) had to vote to approve a "model constitution"
Buried in that was provision that if cong disbanded funds would head south to the Branch Office
As these funds were not what Charity Commission calls "Restricted" (for a certain purpose only) then in theory they could be sent on anywhere.
i am sort of digging the olympics.
plus, i used to live in a state that really should be annexed by canada anyway, michigan.
but i love hockey, autumn, maple syrup, and cold weather.
Did Simon take Canadian citizenship when he moved over from the UK - or his he still a Warrington (England) lad at heart
i thought that i saw (and posted) on a topic recently re a will which was witnessed by an accounts servant somewhere - and the will left everything to the cong?.
did i see it or am i really losing it?.
thanks to everyone - thought it odd at the time that individuals were fingered - sanity restored as i knew it WAS there and then wasnt!

seems so long ago, 1975, lots happened to us all since but not the promised big a and a new system - what we get now is bethelites made redundant, no sign of a promise fulfilled, and yet millions still adhere to the wt.
and still in front of us is 2014 - how will; the wt big that up'.
1975 has been made redundant like hundreds of bethelites - as far as i know the year has not been mentioned for - well 35 years now.

Happy New Year of freedom!!

no, i didn't mean sisters.
seriously - two or three things made me think about it:.
first, recent threads made it clear that several here have seen people get dfd, re-instated, and eventually become elders.
A recent post pointed out that in England & Wales the Carity Commission will not permit a convicted paedophile orm fraudster to have an position in the congs.
They got quite heated as to why WT had no policy in place as I recall - now they insist that appointees are without reproach
and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?
are you ready for that?.
and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !
Recycling is one thing WT is good at - heard all this in the 60's 70's and on and on.....many of the people who were "runners" that I knew have passed away with no reward, no prize, fortunately the carrot of the resurrection is there to deceive those who are in this race. The race for life with the WT is just a treadmill of continual pressure and emotional blackmail....but sadly it still works for many. I am so glad that we (as a family) quit the race and created our own finishing line....quit the pressure and all the constant push to "do more" (but not study more - we do that for you)
has anybody got any success stories about recovering this sort of debt?.
does anyone know of any companies that would buy the debt?.
i have already contacted an attorney so am familiar with the legal/court route - i'm interested in alternatives..
Here in Canada the deposit has to be put in a separate bank account and you also get the interest paid on it when it's returned.
Same here in UK _ Govt has established several Trust Companies to hold the monies - Landlord has not control over it - a Criminal Offence if he does not put deposit funds into the Trusts
