In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls (page 5)

They are behaving more and more as a company... now a billion dollar question is, does that means they have no claim on properties where KH are located?

This is interesting. Is the WTS trying to make is look like the Kingdom Halls do not belong to a religion headquartered in Brooklyn NY? Could the Germany government be questioning the ownership? It would be great if the German government would require that the Kingdom Hall belongs to the local people instead, and not a foreign entity.

My understanding is that this watchtower symbol is NOT exclusive to the Watchtower Society. I think they can make "their" Kingdom Halls abide but I don't think they can truly enforce this on someone else.

This same happens in Finland, too.

It shows using official pictures from WT literature that the Watchtower logo is used on various kingdom halls - which is illegal according to new km.

This looks like an idol issue, I think the gb do keep tabs on what is being said and obviously they feel having a logo be prominent is goign to far down that road, I've certainly seen people accuse them of it with watchtower on this forum, the fact it covers more than just the building makes me more convinced this isn't just a logo issue because it covers to many things.

lol what would you do if they did change the wt name they are quite capable of it? they put no store by these things.

I think there's a bug somewhere. The end of page 3 of this thread is not visible to me. Anyone know how to fix it? No point replying to me via this thread as I won't be able to see it.

Yearbook 2004 p. 252 - Obelisk, Satan's "member". Major idolatry there!
