  I think this could be a topic on it's own, I posted it earlier in a reply:

  One of my relatives in Amsterdam has connections with the inner circle (staff) at watchtower HQ. He was told that watchtower was planning moving out of Brooklyn decades ago (before 1995).

  When the city of New York started bidding for the Summer Olympics 2012, watchtower made serious plans and made agreements for leasing their buildings for tourist accommodation during the Olympics.

  From the moment it was known that New York didn't get the Olympics in 2012 they started selling their property.

  My source is the most reliable, this is absolute true.

  When I first started reading watchtowersoup on my old nokia (wap saved my life), i remember one post being about a huge conference centre WT had built on a beautiful resort, it was a news item. In it, they said they would hire the venue out. It went on to say how it was built by volunteers and would be used for JW teaching too of some kind.

  I was gobsmacked, but now it just seems so obvious. Replace WT with 'religion x' hiring out venues and you soon conclude 'of course, why wouldnt they, its all about the profits, erm we mean prophet$".
