As a recent WBTS watcher (I am writing a thesis on "cults", not limited to JW's but they are a true gold-mine to research), I notice that the planning for their proposed new factory near Chelmsford has been submitted in the name of the International Bible Students Association. Surely a legal "deev" of some sort. Does anyone have any views, derived from experience, arcane knowledge or good ol' conspiracy theory - doesn't matter which! Forgive me if this is under a wrong topic heading but the most appropriate that I could find.

Yes, that's their original name or at least one of the very early legal entities.(in the UK / Europe)
It is unlikely that any non-JW would recognize them as being the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society or "Jehovah's Witnesses". as most people know them (often 'Jehovah witness')..

IBSA is still alive and kicking in the UK. It has a fairly complex relationship with the WTB&TS of Britain, one does the printing and the other buys it from them and distributes it. You may wish to read about it on the Charity Commission website.
