The IBSA did however confirm it was pulling the plug on other construction projects worldwide.
Stephen Morris, IBSA's personnel support manager at its branch relocation department, said: "In order to make best use of contributed funds, some construction projects worldwide will be delayed or cancelled.
Well that settles that! -

The Chronicle exclusively revealed in January 2014 how the IBSA is relocating the headquarters from Mill Hill in north London and build a printing plant producing up to 184,000 religious magazines an hour, accommodation for up to 1,200 Witnesses, parking for 1,040 vehicles and a hospital and playing fields."
With the downsizing going on elsewhere in the World, I wonder if in the end they will actually have 1,200 JW's on Site, and if they will need that printing capacity.
We shall have to see if these projected figures become reality, somehow I doubt it.
But I bet the guys in the Control Room at Cult Headquarters are licking their lips at the prospect of selling off all the holdings in the Mill hill area.

Its now going to be more like accomodation for a few hundred at most.
All Bethelites have to make their own food, do their own washing and cleaning.
No more laundry department, no more kitchen and waiters, no more housekeeping!
And you still only get £80 per month, who on earth wants to go to Bethel and after years of faithful service get kicked out on the street with no money and no hope.

Hi Sledge Hammer,
also greetings from Germany. And sorry for my bad english, too.
I think, at Bruderinfo-aktuell.de, there was some discussion about IBSA Malta and a lot of facts.

The garage is now finished there, I saw pictures of it. It looks a more serious proper garage than the present one at Mill Hill, this new one is all set for dealing with more large trucks and even tractors and farming equipment.
I think they are just finishing off projects that were started, and waiting for plans for the redesign before continuing on a smaller scale.
The question remains will they sell some of the land now that its going to be a much smaller reduced project?
Can anybody find out about the farmers being contracted in for producing food for the smaller family?

Interesting....the publishing sectors expenses are so amazingly close to the "income"......how do they sleep at night....what a travesty...and they get away with taking off millions and nobody has a clue where it all goes. Then they proceed to rip off the locals and take over all their buildings and funds. Crooks. -

can you expand? So we already know their outgoings are more than their income, thus all the cutbacks.
What else are you talking about?

Its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.
They are going for quality over quantity. It used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.
Some say the plans are going to be like a garden of Eden in England :) I mean they had farming in London over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for Temple farm at Chelmsford.
They are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before. I know there are some large agriculture organisations involved at this stage, but if they will be doing things long term, or it will all be handled by volunteers is not known.
over 300 Hectares of beautiful forests and country walks or bike riding. Strictly only for JW's they are also setting up a very high end security system with border security.
You can only gain entry to the compound on the invite of one of the Bethelites or if you book a tour, then you will be recorded and given an electronic badge which you have to keep with you at all times. Each badge has a locator on it and everybody will be tracked 100% of the time, if anybody is found without the locator badge there will be an investigation and all activities will be recorded by the hundreds of high end HD cameras everywhere. It was around 2020 aiming for completion but now Im told it will be nearer 2022.
Just what in the world are they preparing for?

I just spoke with a brother who volunteers on security on the site, he told me there is lots of earth moving going on but its top secret.
He said they think there is something big being built underground at the site, and thats why most volunteers had to leave, there is only 30 or so left, the security volunteers are not allowed near the main project they have to stay in the forest areas.
