Cedars that was funny.
The interesting thing not spoken of too much is the dissing psychological effect on the countries they do this to.
What if McDonalds pulled out of the U.S.? (Not as long as they're making money there!)
Maybe Paul at jwfacts could (or Cedars) an article on where they are closing branches compared with the lack of growth in particular countries.
Would Jesus do this? :-))

Going out of Business Sale!

The Comment "irks" me -
"Jehovah's Witnesses are committed to maintaining a strong profile and presence in New Zealand and the funds released from the sale will be used in other charitable religious activities, particularly those which have strong community links," says Gower.
When they closed and then sold the branch in Spain - they TOOK all the $$ and shipped it to New York. All the people that spend their time, money and hard work, got BUPKUS. Ripped offed at the legs. Sick Sick way to FLEECE THE FLOCK, More will follow I know.
I'd also be interested in seeing an analysis that compares the growth rate in those countries to the sales of branch properties. Maybe these are cases of cause-and-effect. But whatever the reason, I appreciate what dreamgolfer said about sale proceeds being sent to Brooklyn and not allowed to remain in the former host country. The WTS spokesman in New Zealand is simply a liar when he says that money raised from the liquidation of Society property will be used to fund "charitable religious activities...which have strong community links."

That's exactly what will happen here. Like all Bethels . . . it's built by the locals, and on some now very valuable land. The comment irked me as well . . . it's total bullshit and Monty knows it.
The Faithful go to great lengths obtaining land and supplies at the expense of the members. Many donate the land many pay tens of thouands towards building these facilities, no thought is ever given to the ones that give their time or valuables, it is just expected.....
when the society reaps the harvest it is pure GOLD all the way to the bank.
It is no different to any other religion they all are the same, TAKERS!.....
Here is the Property Listing for the NZ Bethel.
