Real reason Watchtower is selling
Reader comment on: Nonprofits Not Shy About Cashing In on Real Estate Gems

Submitted by Robert Bice, Nov 16, 2006 11:37

The reason the Watchtower are sellers in this market is because they are losing members and downsizing, and perhaps preparing for litigation over their child molestation lawsuits that have come up recently. It is the sign of an aging religion that has failed to meet the needs of its people, so better to get all the cash they can.
