    Hell, having a couple Bethelites in a construction trailer "guarding" the property could be considered "construction" as far as the society is concerned.

    @ breakfastofchampions...

    And the best part is, those guys get to count the time.

    At what point does economy with the truth become outright lying? The WT London statement implies continued, uninterrupted construction.

    "However, we are pleased to confirm that the Temple Farm project will continue.“We still have a very active work force on site, and we have no intention, or directive, to close down or sell the site at Temple Farm.”

    The reality though is a few maintenance people remaining and no more than one building being worked on. Everybody else? Gone home.

    I may have missed it before, is there a reason why all the projects are on hold or reduced?

    Why are all the special pioneers getting the sack?

    Why are they so short of funds now?

    In London Bethel reception, they still have a scale model of the new site. The pictures show 80 acreas of land, but that was old info, they since bought another 250 acrea around and about temple farm site.

    What will happen to all this land now? Does anybody know if they will sell some of it?

    The may be flush in assets, but it's the cash flow that seems to be drying up.

    The way they lost the Campos sexual abuse case last year has set a virtually foolproof precedent to beat them in court, and the lawsuits are piling up... not to mention many of us suspect that enough "conscious-classers" (those still stuck in, but know the TATT) have quit donating.

    What is TATT?

    This is new to me about that case last year. What has changed?

    Arent there paedophiles infiltrating many organisations around the world? Why is the JW organisation different?

    I dont understand how if a paedophile is in JW org, why are the other members at the top responsible?

    Welcome FormerBrother!

    Not sure how long you've been away but a lot may have changed since you've left.

    Around here, when you see the acronym TTATT it means "the truth about The Truth." Many here either researched their way into the realization that the WTS had been less than honest in their approach to scriptural interpretation and others tripped across that reality after reviewing sites such as jwfacts.com.

    You should take some time to review that site when you get time.


    As for pedophiles, the infiltration is not the issue here. It's been realized that pedophiles are actually protected in this group.

    Sadly, when you read more, you'll realize more.

    I just spoke to a young elder a couple weeks ago, whose parents had been working on the Chelmsford project for the last six months. They are being sent home within the next couple of weeks. His brother had only just started volunteering there last month and is now being told he'll only be needed as and when (approximately once a fortnight apparently). As you can imagine this is adding to his personal expenditure.

    And to top it off they're putting it all down to the urgency of the times and how they've been told to spend the time they would have used for the build to go out in service 😞
