    Check this out:

    http://www.swissbankclaims.com/PDFs_Eng/WatchTowerBible.pdf

    Basically 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!

    Personally, I do hope the courts see fit to award the Watchtower a portion of the money. And, since the Watchtower itself says no amount of money can compensate for the loss, I would petition the courts to award them one dollar!

    After all, haven't they always taught that God takes care of their monetary needs?

    I would love to be a fly on the wall at Brooklyn and listen to the GB if they only received a single dollar. That would show where their hearts really are.

    If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?
