Jehovah's Witness Worldwide Headquarters

The worldwide Jehovah's Witness headquarters is located in Downtown Brooklyn. At least for the past century is has been. It is moving upstate because more space was needed for their printing operations.

An April, 2012 news article from WABC TV, states, "In the next few years, Brooklyn could see one of the largest turnovers in real estate, all thanks to one seller. The Jehovah's Witnesses are planning to sell all 34 of its buildings as they move their operations upstate. The scope of the church's holdings is massive, 3.2 million square feet, more than the Empire State Building. It's being valued at more than $1 billion, and once the properties are turned over to private owners, the tax dollars will be flowing."

I'm going to read more about this sect -- or is it a cult?
