Jehovah's Witnesses Selling Luxury Apartments?

The Jehovah's Witnesses have several umbrella entities that they run business through unbeknownst to their loyal JW followers. In this video we will look at one of these Watchtower "Charity" organizations and how they promote a lifestyle contradictory to what the Governing Body teaches JWs.

Over 50 years a Witness, got baptized 4/14/1973. I'm almost 73, I always felt unworthy cause I couldn't pioneer,etc. Cause I had to work to support my 5 children. Many times not included in things with adults found myself with their kids instead. Women didn't want me around their husband's cause I was beautiful. I officially left on 1/1/2024

[@junejunie2284]

That's the trouble with being a great beauty - women always think you're after their husbands (even the creepy ones). I got baptized at the same time as you in order to get married in the kingdom hall. Even as a married woman those "sisters" kept me at a distance. It's a form of discrimination!

Justin, you need to look into the luxury condominium complex (not just buildings) in Fishkill, NY and in Suffern, NY. Or the illegal nursing home they run at the Fishkill location. There is so much going on here; individual homes, industrial complexes, warehouses, luxury condos, brownstones in Brooklyn exclusively for the GB, the scope of it is just sickening.

I will definitely look into that!

They sold a Kingdom Hall near me. It was built in 1976 on donated land. Little country community but full every meeting. It had been remodeled and paid off years ago. It sat for 2yrs and finally sold for nothing…… now all the members are driving one hour away to another Hall and risking their lives on old backwood country roads especially the elderly. They could’ve kept that Hall for them and now all those members who worked and contributed and cleaned and did whatever for YEARS to maintain and pay off the Hall have nothing to show for it. This story is not unusual I know but people don’t realize that in rural America there might be 50 miles in between towns and now they are made to drive all that way for a meeting. Sad

[@exjwdiaries]

That’s why I made sure to cross check with the site that manages charities for that region. JWs have so much blind loyalty to the watchtower that they will automatically call anything a lie without doing their own research.

[@yvonne3903]

When I found out about the CSA problem within Jehovah's witnesses a couple of years ago, I tried to show my mother 89 years old, the signal on my phone was low and I couldn't get the ARC info, she smirked, I could tell she was thinking to herself Jehovah saved me. What she didn't get is that this is happening and getting reception on my phone doesn't change that. What struck me was the mystical thinking that Jehovah interfered with reception so that I couldn't share it, it's pathetic and sad.

[@cultytalk]

I showed my father before he died and he got mad - at ME!! Said he didn't believe it was real!! I sent it to my sister recently too and asked her if she was aware they were selling luxury properties for the Elite. She said "No. And that's all I have to say about it." THIS is why Watchtower gets away with this stuf!!! Because the JWs TURN A BLIND EYE & literally REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEIR OWN EYES!! I replied again to my sister, " I think it's disgusting that they're selling expensive properties to the Uber wealthy while regular JWs are suffering!" And I haven't heard back.

Beroean Pickets is one, among others. No "leaders" just 2 or more gathered in Christ's name and He is there and the "Holy Spirit teaches all things" just as promised. Mt 18:20 I have learned more "truth" this year than decades in the BORG

Exactly. WT always push people to attend meetings and mention Hebrew, 10:24,25.

I had JW friends who came out of bethel and joined our congregation. He was a highly respected elder, his wife had an eating disorder. They built a *beautiful* home overlooking a lake, even though they barely made any money as part-time window washers. How? By nagging and bribing all the young men in our circuit to help them until the project was done! Then after a few years, guess what? They SOLD the house! I was devastated! How could they do that after what Jehovah had provided?! A pioneer who knew this couple their entire lives told me with a bit of disgust that the house was built to sell… If only that pioneer sister would look at the organization she’s been serving for nearly 40 years. 😕 I’m so glad I’m finally free!

These apartments were used for the London Bethelites, they were just down the road from IBSA house. Me and my kids visted a brother we knew well who went into the London Bethel for a couple of years and he lived in one of these apartments. They are lovely. All the various buildings related to the London Bethel were spread over a 12 mile radius. The new branch is outside of London now, all on one site. All the buildings in London have been sold, these ones you're talking about are the last few left for sale. They're in a very expensive part of London. Times are tough, they need to drop the prices a bit in order to be able to sell them. I'm surprised they haven't dropped the prices yet!!

[@cultytalk]

Beth Sarim & Beth Shem were really only to be used by Rutherford & his cronies. They (the org) owned those Mansions but lived in them. Today I believe the Mansions are considered "Historical Sites"? Not 100% sure? For a long time they were not properties for sale, so it's a little different. These properties are being build & sold to the Elites in society specifically for that purpose...and then, like I said, they have others that are more like 15min city-type properties with recreation areas, etc that they are building for classes of people below Elite, along the guidelines of the UN's project 2030 agenda.

If you're giving or been asked to donate, ask them for a copy of their accounts, you're entitled, in England if your a charity you are required to give a copy of accounts to all who ask, its part of charity law in UK so I suspect there will be a similar requirement in other countries. Stop giving donations until you get a copy of their accounts. I was the finance manager of a charity, thats how I know , check it out. They will try to gaslight you that this is not so but it is and your entitled even if you give nothing, if that is part of the law in your country you can report them for non compliance if they BS you. In England its to the charity commission, the very same people who investigated them for child protection policies and procedures.

They accept bitcoin? where is their bitcoin adress?

Its not Euros. We use pounds in UK.

Perhaps I missed it and if I did I apologize, but how did the IBSA acquire this property or the other properties people are referencing in the comments? Was it donated or did they build/purchase the property with intent on selling for a profit?

[@exjwdiaries]

The Watchtower has a real estate acquisition department at each of its regional branches. The IBSA expense reports would suggest that the majority of these properties were bought, renovated then sold. Other properties are just held for value. That being said, I have no problem giving them the benefit of doubt that at least some of these properties could have been donated to the Watchtower. However, entities like IBSA are unknown to most (if not all) active JWs which means any property donated would be directly to the Watchtower organization (which is how it’s set up on their donation site). Since IBSA is technically a separate entity, there would need to be a paper trail to transfer these properties from the ownership of Watchtower corp to the ownership of IBSA charity.

For context I’m a raised in longtime exjw… I couldn’t help making 2 observations in your video. And with all due respect to your own thoughts, no criticism intended, just expressing myself. 1) At about 10:45 you speak of “tax collection”, or the like, in my opinion, it’s much more serious than that! I’m a little surprised that you don’t see it as something far more serious! The behavior of the gb and its hierarchy amounts to extortion backed by what amounts to a death sentence in some cases. Those are tactics of organized crime! I’m not a lawyer but I strongly suspect that this amounts to felony. Just saying. 2) About the protest in Washington DC this coming September, I’m of the opinion that the wt and all its iterations has committed crimes deserving of more than just paying fines (see above), and I’m wondering if there are exjw lawyers who would be willing, on a pro bono basis, to build up a claim against, jointly and severally, the whole lot of them for providing some financial indemnity to victims of various abuses PLUS indictments against the top brass (with the accent on “ass” 😂). Plus whatever else is possible, various class action suits… There’s sufficient evidence of them concealing/destroying evidence of CSA, amongst other egregious acts of perjury, etc. Protests alone don’t tend to accomplish much. I’m just saying.

[@exjwdiaries]

I would love for a lawyer to look into the things the JWs are doing. A lot of their practices are unfortunately protected under religious freedom laws but there’s gotta be limits to that. It would be nice to have someone with a law background who can look into it.

[@JJmoony]

You yourself sell items to support the channel and yr lifestyle. Therefore what is wrong with the GB selling things they own to support the work that they do. Its prudent to look ahead and invest money coming in, in order to ensure that money does not dry up. I am a JW who believes what yr saying about the GB owning such properties, but I see no wrong in it.

[@exjwdiaries]

Nothing about this channel is for making money. The items for sale are for spreading awareness and are priced as low as possible for double printing. There’s no profit. The EXJW recovery book can be downloaded for free. I don’t do this for money or to build a following. If it was about that, I’d be making videos A LOT more often. I have no issue with the Watchtower selling properties. I DO have an issue when those properties go against what they teach their members. They should be held to the same level of standards that they enforce for their publishers.

[@Linda-ux8un]

@@exjwdiaries I agree.They live like Kings,in Gated luxury every need met, whilst so many witnesses struggle to make ends meet.

[@JohnBaroque]

Just a personal opinion, legally or socially I agree there is nothing wrong, anyone who owns property is perfectly entitled to sell assets to support what may be considered a good cause. But were we not counseled as Jehovah's Witnesses in effect to lead modest, humble lifestyles, to pray for our daily bread sufficient for the requirements of the day, to keep our eye simple, to stop storing up treasures on earth but to store up treasure in heaven, to seek first the Kingdom and all other things would be added. The excess display in wealth and luxury that these properties seem to exhibit suggests to me that it goes contrary to Christian modesty to say the least. To quote the apostle John "The showy display of one's means of life does not originate with the Father but with the world"

Hmmm I don’t know man, you’re making very loose logical claims. Others could say, “well the WT is being industrious to fund itself and further the worldwide work”. You know what JWs are like. I just find your logic a little weak in this one.

[@Daizetta]

Then why not tell the members about these projects?

[@user-tp9lc5gw3d]

@@Daizetta huh?

[@exjwdiaries]

My issue is not with them having ways to get extra funding. If it takes the financial strain off of their members, I’m all for it. My issues are: 1. They need to be transparent. If they have millions coming from other sources, that information should be available to JWs. Instead they tell their members everything is funded by their voluntary donations. It’s a major issue to guilt trip struggling single mothers to donate their last dollar giving them the impression the organization desperately needs it when the real truth is that they have other means of getting funding. 2. The luxury aspect of the property and the million dollar price goes against what the Watchtower teaches their members about keeping a simple eye and only striving to earn enough income to take care of necessities. These type of luxury apartments would be considered materialistic and yet the watchtower owns them… 3. If they are collecting properties in the name of the religion, they should put more focus on properties that can have some benefit for their members. Why not buy apartments buildings that JWs can easily afford so they can pioneer and do more for the organization as they are always asked to do? Why invest in properties that can only be obtained by the rich meanwhile you have countless members worldwide who are struggling? It’s all about holding the Watchtower to the same level of standards that they put on their members.

@@exjwdiaries hmmm ok those are fair, but does the WT teach against luxuries? Have you seen where the governing body live? It’s better than any five star hotel! 🏨

They definitely teach against luxuries. I can’t count how many magazines they’ve had criticizing owning fancy cars, watches and homes even though, as you said, the GB themselves have those things.
