    So legally the cong. Trustees may be the title owners, but never mind, The Society claims it as their own and directs what is to be done with it.

    Point 30/31 says that if the Branch so choose, by the "master plan " , they decide to sell it and send you across town to share. The sale "will be handled by the branch" .... this happened to one of my old congs who now squeeze into another hall . Half a million quid went to The Society".

    ยง48. In the event that the bodies of elders decide to eliminate printed publications from the library, care should be taken not to discard items that have historical significance. The branch office may wish to add such items to its library or to its archive of historical materials.

    Which publications are these? Ones - who earn high prices online (ebay)?

    Break-ins, thefts, incidents of arson, or other acts of vandalism should be promptly reported to
    the local authorities.

    You should immediately call the branch office for direction if you learn of an accusation of child abuse...

    The first quote from a letter about property, and the second taken from their Shepherd The Flock secret elders manual about people. Pretty well says where their main concerns rest, in their own words!

    Damned hypocrites!

    Congregations do all the grunt work and pay the bills BUT Watchtower owns the asset! Great gig if you're Watchtower. The gullible fools keep lapping it up.

    This is not the sign of an organization that is flourishing as had done in more recent decades.

    So true. Basically it's just a way to keep the halls full artificially.

    Also it helps in the real estate scam:

    1 - Congregation seems to big, congregation buys new hall, then split. Time to pay org for loan.

    2 - Attendance numbers seems low, now sell one hall send profits to Org, and merge

    3 - Go back to step 1
