MacHislopp	WTBS' Financial Empire...the tip of the iceberg!
	Hello everyone,   concerning this topic I wish to give the opportunity, to  all newcomers on this board to  give a GLANCE, at the financial empire of the WTBS Inc.   But before,  let's have some of the reminders so often used by the WTBS Inc.     *** jv 340 21 How Is It All Financed? *** "SeatsFree.NoCollections"   As early as the second issue of the WatchTower, in August 1879, Brother Russell stated: "Zions Watch Tower has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg  nor petition men for support. When He who says: All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine, fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication." Consistent with that, there is no begging for money in the literature of Jehovahs Witnesses "       *** km 12/87 3 Anticipating the Needs of the Harvest ***   3 In the September 1983 Our Kingdom Ministry, the point was made that Kingdom Hall construction had not kept pace with the formation of new congregations. Why? The article stated: “Basically the problem is economic. Whereas it is true that some expansion into outlying areas has been difficult or impossible because the brothers have not been able to build or otherwise provide appropriate Kingdom Halls in those areas, the problem the organization faces today primarily is found in the urban areas where property values have skyrocketed to such an extent that individual congregations, including large ones, have been unable to purchase even a site for the construction of a Kingdom Hall. In addition, exorbitant real estate prices have placed existing buildings suitable for conversion into Kingdom Halls out of the reach of the brothers.” The brothers have responded wholeheartedly to this need and many Kingdom Halls have now been constructed in such urban areas.   *** km 12/88 4 Manifesting Faith by Fine Works *** CONGREGATIONS CAN ASSIST 8 There is much that each congregation can do to support the Kingdom Hall construction program. For instance, congregations contemplating undertaking new construction projects can select a simple design that will neither be costly nor require intensive labor. (Compare Philippians 1:10.) The Society has available a variety of Kingdom Hall plans that are compatible with the method of construction used for quickly built halls. (Please note the December 1986 Our Kingdom Ministry insert, paragraphs 10-12.) While we look forward to Jehovah’s blessing upon our congregations, we must also be practical in our building design so as to meet the need, without placing an unnecessary burden on either the friends or the resources of the Society Kingdom Hall Fund. 9 Some congregations have included in their Kingdom Hall design a modest apartment that can be used by a traveling overseer while serving in the area. In the future, congregations building Kingdom Halls that will be centrally located in the circuit may want to consider whether it would be practical to include a room where the circuit overseer and his wife can be accommodated. 10 When undertaking a Kingdom Hall building project, the need for local financial support can be discussed frankly with the congregation(s) involved. The more finances the brothers provide locally with both contributions and loans, the less they will need to borrow. This allows more of the resources of the Kingdom Hall Fund to be available for other congregations to use in building their Kingdom Halls. 11 Some congregations, after requesting assistance from the Society Kingdom Hall Fund and being advised that they would have to wait because moneys were not available at the time, have then found sufficient loans and contributions available locally to complete their project. It is good to check thoroughly the availability of such funds before requesting help. (Luke 14:28-30)   *** km 12/88 5 Manifesting Faith by Fine Works ***   Even though a congregation follows this procedure, a Society Kingdom Hall Fund contribution box conveniently located in the Kingdom Hall will enable individuals desiring to do so to make voluntary contributions to the fund. Any moneys placed in this contribution box should be forwarded to the Society in addition to those covered by the congregation’s resolution. Individuals may also make direct contributions to the fund, sending their remittances to the Society with an accompanying letter specifying the purpose of the contribution.   Ready,....let's go !!!   From this link:   http://www.freeminds.org/history/wtinnewyork.htm   you'll  find  detailed  informations about each  property   "Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society ", Brooklyn  New York.-   Here are the adresses:     1***WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 119 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A 2***WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 89 HICKS STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A 3***WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 169 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A 4**WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A 5***WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A FRONT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A 6**WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A FRONT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND 177 FRONT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 50 ORANGE STREET UNIONDALE NY 11553 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 29 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 76 WILLOW STREET BROOKLYN NY 11243 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 80 WILLOW STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 90 SANDS STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE AND 200 WATER STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A YORK STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 8 CLARK STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 161 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 105 WILLOW STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &T 360 FURMAN STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE-TRA 137 PEARL STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A JAY STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 61 ADAMS STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 107 ADAMS STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE-TRA 64 PROSPECT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 107 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS FLUSHING NY 11378 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 34 ORANGE STREET SAINT LOUIS MO 63179 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TS 67 LIVINGSTON STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T N/A FRONT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A   WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 79 WILLOW STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 183 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 51 YORK STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE-TRA 81 PROSPECT STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 97 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CLEVELAND OH 44115 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE & T 67 REMSEN STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER BIBLE &TR 86 MONTAGUE STREET BROOKLYN NY 11201 NY N/A WATCHTOWER 1-299 WATCHTOWER DR WALKHILL, NY NY 12589 WATCHTOWER 2800 RT 22 WALKHILL, NY NY 12589 WATCHTOWER 2851 RT 22 WALKHILL, NY NY 12589 WATCHTOWER N/A RT 311 WALKHILL, NY NY 12589 WATCHTOWER 2721 RT 22 WALKHILL, NY NY 12589       I have made a chart with each individual value but for the sake of space I'm giving , here below, the total value of  LAND  and  BUILDINGS   for all the above adresses:               202,782,892,000.00    U.S.A.  $ or       273,898,990,000.00    CAN.   $ or       172,608,880,000.00    EURO or       121,588,680,000.00     B.POUND     Note: All the above data are from : USPDR " Property and Information - the most comprhensive non- government source - for real estate in New York.   http://www.uspdr.com/ Consumer/generaldisplay.asp?unikeys     P.S.  A huge, huge thanks to our friends of FREEMINDS for this  excellent piece of research and data!!!

When a non-profit organisation has greater income than expenses, different terminology is used, along the lines of "excess of revenue over expenditure." Thus a charity can make money hand over fist, but still be a non-profit organisation.   There are also different rules between business corporations and non-profit organisations for how these excesses and reserves built up can be employed or distributed. In practical terms for a high-control org. like the Watchtower these rules are nonsense, since whatever the leadership decides about use of funds, the followers will fall into line. I'm quite sure that if Ted Jaracz decided that all the reserves should be paid into his own bank account, the boards of directors, trustees and other officers of the various Watchtower charities would all fall into line. Real power is not having the money, it's having control of the people who have the money.

On November 1, 1999 all assets and liabilities of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania were successfully transferred to the Society.   The Society received a donation from Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, in the sum of £12,334,861 which was invested immediately. This donation, to be used in connection with the charity’s objects, has boosted the Society’s reserves giving it a good base from which it can assist in financing the relocation of printing facilities owned by International Bible Students Association and used by the Society.   Direct charitable expenditure through the year includes the cost of manufacturing and distributing Bibles and Bible study aids at a cost of £4,243,943. Financial support was given to full-time ministers in Britain and overseas in the sum of £394,544. The charity was able to make donations of cash and goods to overseas charities in ninety seven countries, primarily in the developing world totalling £3,624,797 to assist in the worldwide work of Jehovah’s Witnesses, advancing the Christian religion.

Personnel The Branch has no employees but engages only volunteers and provides them with allowances for personal and other expenses. All travelling ministers and their wives are provided for on the same basis and the total cash allowances and expenses payments to any one person would not exceed £654 in the period. These ministers stay in the homes of congregation members for much of the time. During the period there was an average of 144 persons so engaged. Likewise, all missionaries on special assignment are each paid on the same basis and the total cash allowances and expense payments to any person would not exceed £2,470. During the period there was an average of 82 persons so engaged.   °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Note:   For Great Britain , you can have also  search :  http://www.charitiesdirect.com/ind   °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°   "The Patterson Project"  USA   From: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/9137/1.ashx     Although the Society already owns enough property to provide housing for its high officials, it undertook a mammoth luxury construction project in Patterson, New Jersey.   The Patterson Project sits on 684 acres, and cost $50,000,000 dollars in materials alone.   All labor was "donated", of course. Factoring in the labor, this project, when completed will be worth over $100,000,000 dollars.     This property is touted by the WTBS to be a "teaching" and "office" facility, where the Gilead School will be conducted. It also is said to be used to provide temporary housing for the Branch servants and other instructors.   Office facility? The WTBS just completed another $35,000,000 office tower a few years ago. 684 acres? Why 684 acres? That is a huge parcel of land and is not needed to facilitate any "teaching".   Gilead classes are quite small. There are only 90 or so Branch Servants, and it seems unlikely that all of them would stay on the property at once for any extended length of time. There are only 12 members of the Governing Body and maybe a dozen or two members of the Service and Writing departments at Bethel. The Society already adequately provides for the needs of these persons at Bethel.   So, why invest the equivalent of $100,000,000+ for the benefit of so very few people? Why invest this kind of money when all the "needs" this property is supposed to provide are ALREADY provided through existing WTBS property?   °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°     "Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York"       http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/45749/1.ashx   [Taken from Newsday.com, in an article reporting the top-40 New York City corporations.] [ http://www.newsday.com/business/printedition/ny-cvtop52369349sep17.story?coll=ny%2Dbusiness%2Dprint]   Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York 25 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, 11201 718-560-5000 www.jw-media.org Revenue: $951 million Industry: Publishing President: Milton Henschel Employees: 3,415 It takes a lot of printing to supply more than 6 million Jehovah's Witnesses with the materials for their ministry.
