   The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: $1.45 Billion in Assets   
      
   This is only one of many JW corporations valued at over a billion   
   dollars. The JW cult has a network of corporations, trusts, and funds   
   chock full of boodle.   
      
   Leah Remini and Mike Rinder interviewed Jehovah’s Witnesses on a very   
   powerful and anguishing episode of Scientology and the Aftermath. The   
   heartbreaking stories of shunning, sexual abuse, and suicide drove us   
   to tears. The courage of Leah’s guests in speaking out proved that they   
   cannot be silenced by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.   
      
   Like the Church of Scientology, the Jehovah’s Witnesses practice the   
   emotional blackmail of shunning and demand that their members place the   
   organization above family and everything else in their lives. Having   
   grown up in the Pentecostal Church, we know what it feels like when the   
   church demands that one surrender all to God lest they face the pain of   
   everlasting Hell and Perdition.   
      
   The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society listed the book value of its   
   assets as $1,451,217,000 on its 2015 IRS Form 990-T. This places the   
   Jehovah’s Witnesses into the same “billion dollar plus” cult status as   
   the Church of Scientology.
