I just think the legal focus is a little odd. Obviously the complicated relationship between "the church" and "the ministry" in Anaheim is really not a legal problem. As you said yourself, six months to a year and any kind of lease would have been up. Though I'm pretty sure they were both owners anyway.

But more to the point, what's the situation on Ball Rd today? Well golly gee willickers, Batman, the church in Anaheim still meets at the same place. Yes, LSM moved the publishing business to La Palma, but the FTTA is still right there on Ball Rd. And I think they also use it for young people's study times during the biannual trainings.

And don't forget the joint CIB/LSM property they just bought for a new FTT center in Boston. Decades later, same m.o. Somehow, I think a legal brief on the relationship between tenants and landlords....kinda misses the point.
