The Watchtower Moving Some Operations from Brooklyn
March 26th, 2009
Our neighbor, Brooklyn Heights Blog notes that The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is planning to build an 850 person residential and administrative complex in Rockland County, via the Journal News. The Journal News article mentions that “the society plans to move many of its administrative offices from Brooklyn, where it has overseen its worldwide operations for 100 years.”
The organization owns many of the buildings in and around Dumbo. We did not receive any replies after attempting to contact them via email on which building’s will be moved in Brooklyn. There are approximately 33 buildings located in Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo that make up the Watchtower Society’s complex. Many of the buildings are located on Adams, York, and Prospect Streets. 69 Adams is the ‘tennis court‘ building, and then there are the parking lots on 85 Jay Street and the lot behind 70 Washington Street at York and Front Street. Does anyone from the society know any details?

So, the WatchTower Cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses wants to make Rockland County its new worldwide headquarters. That should make all Rockland County residents both happy and proud for the next several decades.
Rockland County public officials should be aware that the WatchTower Cult is easy to get along with so long as they do everything demanded of them by the WatchTower Cult leadership. Otherwise, the WatchTower Cult’s vast Legal Department will drain county coffers dry litigating any issue that fails to go their way.
Rockland County public officials first might want to determine whether Lorterdan Properties acted with good faith in their dealings with Rockland County, i.e., Was Lorterdan Properties acting as a shill for the Cult all along? If someone thinks that the JWs have never used a shill before in a property purchase, then they should read KEYERLEBER v. EUCLID CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES at:

Rockland County public officials also might want to determine how many lawsuits the WatchTower Cult has filed against county officials where various cult facilities have been located. Check out lawsuits in Los Angeles County, California, and in NYC and Lansing, New York. Check out:
