Truly, more proof of how far into "The time of the End" we are. When a building dedicated to Jah, has been shamelessly sold for profit to a corporation of Satan's world. Oh, the signing and moaning of the nations is deafening! Too bad, too bad, you company of useless crap!

Amazing!
I noticed one of my old halls is now a 7th Day Adventist Church - the inside is EXACTLY the same, 2nd school, chairs, everything!!
It surely is speeding up now!

Wait! There is more! The famous Menlo Park Kingdom Hall in California is now a Spanish Pentecostal Church! ( I wonder how all the old widows in that congregation feel about the new signage after they donated their meager lifes' savings for the remodel....and bank account Watchtower seized. They get to drive by the place going to other halls and cities to attend meetings...if they can stomach going any longer.)
At least Etsy actually helps crafters and artists to put food on their tables by providing actual tangible goods!! :)

I thought that entire battle was over the fact that the real estate had become so valuable? And a Pentecostal Church had the (bid?) bucks to buy it? Did they keep the old Hall? Or, demo it and erect a new church?

The Menlo Park Hall faced the old Veterans Administration Psychiatric Hospital and VA Golf course (used to shoot the movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" with Jack Nicholson). The Hall Backed to US 101 and was a few blocks from Facebook-Meta and an easy walk to Stanford University. Yes, it was valuable real estate.
Most of the publishers were working class minorities, with a couple of Attorneys, and Stanford Employees. That hall had a fat bank account Watchtower seized first, followed by seizing the Hall.
Last I looked, few changes had been made to the building.
Most of the key players are now dead.
