   Really?  They sure made a lot of PROFIT/MONEY peddling books and rags to   
   build the multi-billion dollar Patterson Complex in NY.  It's complete with   
   fancy gardens, landscaped grounds and crystal chandeliers.  Never mind what   
   Jesus said about flashing your finery and wealth.  Then - more PROFIT/MONEY   
   to buy all that outrageously expensive property in Brooklyn NY where the   
   average home costs upward of $350,000.  The WTS bought up whole sections....
