Happy hunting.......
After 30 secs hunting.. 'Jehovah Jireh LTD' came up with British Virgin Islands and Singapore connections. Haven't got time myself at the moment, but can search by address, names, words etc.
hope you are all well x

I just used that same Website to search for “Watch Tower,” and it came up with the following link which I found even more interesting:
So if they would want to HIDE ca$h offshore, would they use easily identifiable names like Jehovah, Watch Tower, Jw.org etc in the name of their shell company? I didn't think so.
Even if the WT would do the dirty work of creating the offshore companies themselves instead of using an outside expert, one would need to know which people inside the WT would most likely be responsible for creating the offshore companies and search for those persons instead. But knowing how tight lipped the WT is about their finances, its very likely that nobody possesses such information outside of the US HQ accounting dept.
Besides... JW.borg IS already in a tax paradise... The US, where religions are tax free...
There is actually a JW-run retirement home in Beamsville, Ontario (Canada) called Jah-Jireh Seniors Ministry Association. (“http://www.jah-jireh.on.ca”)

SAHS, the link in your first comment didn't work, can you check it? Thanks.

Sorry. It seems that you can’t go directly to that link because that Webpage has to be generated by a search using the main Webpage.
So, you have to go to the Webpage “https://offshoreleaks.icij.org” and do a search there for “Watch Tower” – NOTE: You have to put “Watch Tower” within double quotation marks in the search field. The search will then result in the entry “Watch-Tower Investments Limited,” which is registered in the British Virgin Islands. Click on that entry, and it will generate a flowchart diagram showing all the entities connected to it.
From an old Thread, 15 years ago :
"
It has nothing to do with the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society; the name "Watchtower" in no way is allowed to be used by the Witnesses only, there are scores of firms and organizations calling themselves Watchtower-something. If you check up Bible groups, you will even find some New World societies and -organizations, and also a Bible translations group, neither of which have anything to do with the WB&TS. "
“Phizzy”: “The name "Watchtower" in no way is allowed to be used by the Witnesses only, there are scores of firms and organizations calling themselves Watchtower-something.”
Perhaps, but a name like “Watch-Tower Investments Limited,” especially considering the diagram of internationally connected business entities, seems to me like it has the JW Watchtower written all over it!
