I don't work for Watchtower. I just look for facts and not what people say. If you read the actual information in that Menlo Park case it is some crazy stuff that Cobb claimed. Read the actual court documents and depositions and you will see the truth behind that case.
Second, everyone here knows there is a difference between the writing department and writing committee right.

You may be right that that they are far from what Jesus had done while he is on the earth. And you do have the right to voice your displeasure on how a non-profit uses their money, but at the end of the day, if they don't break a law, there is nothing that can be done about it. You are doing what you can do, you voice your opinion and you withhold your own money from being contributed. But they aren't breaking any laws. I posted this earlier, John Oliver did a fantastic episode on televangelists and what is allowed to be done with the money that is donated. The IRS rules and Federal Law is very lax when it comes to something like this.

Watchtower has no control over what can be done by the local corporation if it is written into their bylaws and constitution that gives them that power. It is abiding by the local corporate governance documents that prevents certain actions from happening. Many of those documents has it written in that if the property is ever sold that the proceeds go to Watchtower, but it is not that Watchtower goes in and takes that money, it is that the governance document says that the money has to be sent there. Watchtower cannot go to a bank and just say we are taking this money. There is a process that takes place.

Menlo Park was it's own corporation with it's own bylaws and constitution. Their constitution required that the directors were in good standing and were elders. That is not the case uniformally, nor for Watchtower. You have to read the constitution and bylaws for each corporation.
And it doesn't matter at least in the US. Courts have ruled on this matter a number of times that GB does not control the corporations and one corporation does not control the actions of another. No matter how much you hate it, it is case law and it would take a dramatic shift to change it.

And by the way you can get a copy of the WBTS of NY and PA bylaws and constitution through the Secretary of State's office in their respective states, both are public records.

If you don't think that they are spending their money correctly then don't contribute to them. I don't understand why it is such a big concern for so many people here what they spend their money on. If people want to contribute to a cause it is their right to contribute or not. And if you want to contribute and put a restriction on what those monies can be used for than you can make a conditional contribution. When people donate to the Red Cross some of the money they contribute might be used for things that they agree with and some may not, but you contribute to the organization. It is not a tax, so no one forced you to contribute to them. It is a voluntary thing.

If you know how much they paid for the building then please provide proof of it. If you don't then you are guessing as to how much it did cost.

Again no one on here knows if it is the expensive option or not? No one here knows how much it actually cost. It may have been a donated building and land? It could be that they got a much cheaper option than anything else they found. Again no one here knows for sure, it is just guessing and it is clouded guessing.
