Check this out:
http://www.swissbankclaims.com/PDFs_Eng/WatchTowerBible.pdfBasically they are trying to gain a portion of the Swiss Banks Settlement for their "Holocaust education" work.
These two paragraphs really struck me though:
"The few remaining Witness survivors have used their waning vitality to speak to young people, educators, and scholars about their experiences and those of their martyred fellow believers. If the court sees fit to allocate a portion of the settlement fund to the Watch Tower to continue this work of remembrance, we believe it would constitute fitting recognition of individual Witnesses who suffered and died while maintaining their faith and human values.
Some Witnesses died prematurely and left no heirs to make a claim to the Swiss Bank Settlement Fund. However, the legacy of spiritual resistance that they left behind is of great value in the education of future generations about the importance of standing up for the dignity and value of human life. Representing these individuals, the Watch Tower would be pleased devote any allocated moneys solely to the interests of Holocaust education and the remembrance of the prisoners who bore the purple triangle, according as the court might stipulate."
In the first paragraph, it would seem to me to preempt any individual JWs who might otherwise apply for a portion of the settlement. And in the second, they are attempting to set themselves up as the heirs of those who died and left no heirs. What arroagance!
