Before you ask , I am not that Peter Ellis.
The official line is
The land at Bittacy Hill and the Ridgeway is valued at 69 million
The estimate at moving to Milton Keynes was 250 million
Kingdom Halls in Africa can be built for about 10p (our District Overseer Joke) no really about 4,000.
The question are the society really that kind? or is there a real reason behind the cancellation.
Bro Ellis
The original plan was to move to Southampton to to be nearer to the shipping route, Milton Keynes is new to me.
Southampton? Really? First the Titanic and then the WT?
Ah, you know how us Pompey supporters LURV Southampton!

LOL @ E'man!!
The move to Southampton was scrapped because of more pressing priorities, so they said. This was about the time when bethel at London was lumbered with printing all the French magazines so they could dodge the taxation.
The official reason for scrapping the move to MK was the imminence of Armageddon, as the events of 9-11 unfolded.
This can be found in the January 2002 Kingdom Ministry on page 7, which can be found at this site:
