does anyone have an update on the developement in Chelmsford?

i'm always keenly slightly interested in hearing about jehovahs blessings.

nowwhat?

Last we heard it was downsized by 50% of the original. Surely we see jehovahs hand blessing this project!

Apparently Jehovah has blessed the women who work on the Chelmsford project.

This article was written just before Women's Day:

http://www.constructionmanagermagazine.com/onsite/witness-model-construction-project/

The article is a disgusting plug for "women equality on the construction site"

The most noticeable thing about this site is that there’s nothing special about being a woman here. And that means that female workers want to stay on the project, and that they encourage their friends to volunteer here too.
There’s got to be a lesson for the wider industry in here somewhere.

Huh. Nothing special about being a women. True dat.

The project is well on the way to completion but apart from a large studio nobody seems quite sure why it is there. Large accommodation blocks will house lots of volunteers, nobody seems sure what they will all do. Perhaps they will maintain the large accommodation blocks, clean the gym and swimming pool. Ah well!

The UK Bethelites are now essentially part of the smokescreen for enforcing/encouraging donations out of UK JW's.

Absolutely no justification or need for maintaining an expensive UK Branch complex when Selters in Germany serves the whole of Europe now.

'A champion of women in construction'?

Pffffffffh. In what universe?

Gotta love the new branding...it's now a "campus."

Yeah because within the JW a construction site is the only place a woman is allowed to 1) do what men are allowed to do and 2) use their brains.

Everywhere else in JW only men are allowed to do and think (sadly they never really do), women just have to sit and be silent.

No wonder JW women like the building projects. Finally some feeling of worthiness and purpose. Finally they see actual results for their hard work (as opposed to field service).

Lol on the comments under the article, just like comments on the meeting, self glorifying crap. I wonder how much female civil engineers and supervisors are there or any other JW construction site.
