    1. Earlier this month, the Jehovah’s Witnesses filed a permit application seeking to remove the 15-foot-tall letters from the roof of the organization’s now-former headquarters. The request comes nearly a year after developers Kushner Companies, CIM Group and LIVWRK Holdings purchased the building at 25-30 Columbia Heights for $340 million.Removal of the letters will cost an estimated $70,500, according to documents filed with the city’s Department of Buildings.

      Back in 2017, the Jehovah's Witnesses estimated that removing the "WATCHTOWER" sign from their former Brooklyn Heights HQ (which they did not long after requesting permits) would cost $70,500.

This is a text version of the first printing and also contains pictures that were circulated in the Karatol edition. Later printings contain significant changes. Publication of this book was authorized by J.F. Rutherford, president of the Watchtower Society. Rutherford later gave the group the name Jehovah's Witnesses in 1931.
