Are they planning to beg for more money at the meeting and tell the r&f that they are in such a pickle that they have had to cancel projects, proving that they desperately need every penny they can get?
This actually makes the most sense.
Televangelism at its finest.
A good source just just told me that at Morning Worship today that the Governing Body announced that a total of 1600 Bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to Warwich when the last property is sold in Brooklyn and all Kingdom Hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the Preaching Work.
Is there confirmation this affects all kingdom hall building projects or that it is just large projects (Bethels, assembly halls, etc.) as was stated in another thread?The kingdom halls are plausibly far more expensive than the larger projects and it seems more reasonable. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm?
I can't officially confirm, but my contacts tell me that the construction freeze applies to "assembly halls and larger" (e.g., branch expansions), and therefore would not affect kingdom hall construction.
I remember the food at the Conventions and Assemblies. They made Money until it was changed to a donation for the food.
All of sudden, they were losing money for the lack of Donations.
Food Program ended, problem ended!
My source said "worldwide Bethel reduction".
Someone posted on one of the threads something about age 60 and age 70 as cutoffs, but I don't recall the details and it's getting harder to search thru all of these!
