NEW ARRANGEMENT: MORE THAN 100 CORPORATE "BRANCHES" NOW OWNED BY WATCHTOWER SOCIETY, INC.!!!

What follows below is a PARTIAL listing of over 100 Corporations or "BRANCHES" [former congregations on local level] NOW legally owned as "Corporate Assets" of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society. Currently more than 100 corporations owned by the WTS!

Remember, this is ONLY a partial listing. And yes, individual "congregations" are listed too as "DBA" [Doing Business As] the "Watchtower Society" or "Jehovah's Witnesses", thus making the local congregations "legally" owned by the WTS under this NEW Corporate designation. They become the "Watchtower Society, Incorporated [doing business as] the Jehovah's Witnesses of Jasper, Kentucky BRANCH", for instance. They now become "branches" for the WTS Corporation!

Therefore, legally speaking, by accepting this new Corporate designation of being "branches" for the WTS, the local Jehovah's Witnesses no longer "own" (if paid for), their respective Kingdom Halls anymore.

It is now, legally owned by the WTS, as "branches" of that Corporation. They are "branches", "dba" [doing business as] as the WTS Corporation now!!!

Recently, the WTS has asked the local brothers to turn over their kingdom halls to the WTS, in legal terms. And the local Jehovah's Witnesses have complied, without a whimper or one solitary concern. But after changing their "legal" name to the ones cited below, the local Jehovah's Witnesses can no longer claim "ownership" of their kingdom halls anymore. The local Jehovah's Witnesses and their paid for "kingdom halls" as real estate that are now owned, lock stock and barrel, by the wicked conniving Watchtower Society Corporate Conglomerate!

I suspect this is nothing to get worked up over and the reasons for these corporations are rather simple. Quite likely they are for convention purposes or something similar due to tax or state laws. Money all goes to the same place.

Each country also has their own versions of the WTS registered, as well as corporations to hold title to Kingdom Halls etc.

OR...once the WTS gets hit with an unending stream of lawsuits, they now have the legal assets to sell-off in order to cover expenditures. The given 'reason' will be to "combine congregations" or some other excuse.

Amazing

Hi JanG: This list came from my research, and was posted earlier on JWD. There are several more corporations as I work through my final compilation. You can see this at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=20189&site=3#250351

If you wish, I will email you the final cut. Also, I have access to the full business reports of about ten of the major corporations. So, if that is of interest, let me know. I am preparing this research for anyone who plan to or is involved with a civil suit against the Society in the USA. This will help them seize assets should they prevail in their cases.

Finally, the quote said:

This is not factual. The Watchtower Society does NOT own the Kingdom Halls in the4 USA, and the above corporations are not in title to these Kingdom Halls. The Society is on each Kingdom Hall "Deed of Trust" as "Beneficiary" in the event of the Demise of the COngregation.

The Corporations I listed in the "100" are separate from any local Kingdom Hall that may be incorporated. IN those situations, the Kingdom Hall does NOT use the name of the Watchtower Society as it is a registered Trademark of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York and the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Rather, the above Corporations are actual regional Branch operations, Convention Operations and other direct Watch Tower related entities. Thanks. Amazing

i think at least 15 years ago, there were structural changes in connection with the 'title' to kingdom halls.. and what has now been quoted is not veri much different (as i remember)..

it's a bit paranoid to see every legal adjustment as evidence of trickery..

personally, i think it's got more to do with the organisation (as a whole) retaining ownership if the majority in a congregation became apostate..

i'm sure that in many other religions there would be similar precautions..
