  They have registered their business at Companies House under business code 41100 - Development of building projects.

  Opening their latest Full Accounts filing it says on page 4 under Principle Funding Sources:

  ”The Society currently has two funding sources, one of them being the construction of new facilities or places of worship, which is invoiced at cost to other charities with similar aims”

  We know that this invoicing never ends so it’s hardly at cost.

  I wonder what the faithful would make of their beloved religion self classifying as a building company.

  Didn`t the Jehovah`s Witnesses in Mexico identify themselves as a Cultural organization and not a religious organization back in the day ?

  When the Catholic Church was the only recognized religion that could own land and property .?

  So they made 45 million. Not bad. Good business.

  Not bad for a non profit organization I guess .

  They are at least admitting publicly what they are doing, that is;

  Use volunteer labor to build a facility, use it as a KH or Assembly Hall for a while, sell it to another party, then repeat. It is one of their funding sources.
