When you list that many (what is the total number please ?) it looks as though they are doing so very very well. But when you compare it with the other christian denominations in the community they really are a VERY minority religion. In my area for example, we have two JW congregations, and about 60 to 70 other churches. |

Check out the Cleveleys congregation and note that a JW on the list is an MBE a member of the British Empire which of course is no part of the Worldly System of Things. |

Four congregations on that list I have been a member of. This must be an old list because one of the so called "brothers" I knew moved to Japan ages ago. Seeing some of the names on those lists have brought back some bad memories. |

JWB, many thanks for posting this fascinating data, I see the ongoing programme of stealing ownership of the Kingdom Halls that the local congregation sweated to build and to pay for goes on apace, creeping up towards half are already owned bt the K.H Trust. I am sure the average window cleaning JW, and even some of the more business like JW's, are not aware of the ramifications of this. I like the way they have the gall to be quite proud that they are appropriating Title to a K.H worth hundreds of thousands, and they make the congregation pay for the transfer of Title costs !(Conveyance) Money grabbing bastards. |

JWB do you understand the significance of the ownership of land held in trust? The trust structure of ownership is to avoid paying taxes primarily, this was a benefit conferred by the political classes for all religious organisations, the wts like nearly all religious groups avails itself of this ruse for this reason, they do not have to go along this route, they choose to. What is your point in cutting and pasting these rather arid and anodyne legal documents? Regards David |

I wonder why this is considered an acceptable charitable object, for which the British Tax Payer contributes?
In fact, I mean to include all religions ...why is that something for which the Tax Payer should contribute? In these days of secular multi culturism? Unless they can point to practical programs of help in the community they should all self finance IMHO (and spoken still as a believer if not practiser of religion) It was interesting to see so many names still there that I knew, and some young boys that have now grown into the role Thanks for posting... |

@wobble: I'm so glad this information and the links are appreciated as it has required a great deal of time and patience to get information like this. I have tried to put together a lot of information over many months on my blogsite (jwbaptism.blogspot.com), the sort of information I wish had been available to me a long time ago. I hope that my efforts may be in some way helpful to others. |

JWB: so THIS is what is happening to UK ownership of KH's. THANKYOU!!! i asked about this here: JWB: do you have any information to explain what this actully means in real terms? am i correct in saying that ownership/title/deeds of the KH will be at HQ IBSA trust? the upkeep and maintenance of the KH building still rests on the shoulders of the local congregation, even though they no longer own the building? if it is in TRUST, can the congregation ask for the Title/Deeds returned to the local congregation and put back into the TRUST of the local elders? thankyou again BroMac

@Hi BroMac: I'm glad the information is of interest to you. The deeds may well in the possession of The Kingdom Hall Trust (TKHT) whose address is IBSA House, The Ridgeway, London, NW7 1RN. The reason I say this is because on the UK Charity Commission's (CC) website concerning TKHT (charity number 275946) it says, in part that the charity is: |
