Aus Bethel reducing numbers dramatically.

Sorry if this is old news but just heard that there will only be about 75 people left at Sydney bethel after layoffs.

They didnt head off the ARC, heads had to roll.

My jaw dropped when I heard how much the numbers were going to be slashed.
I consider my source reliable but am looking forward to someone confirming this because this indicates a virtual shut-down of Australian bethel, which would mean lots of unused land and empty buildings.
Hopefully someone else on this forum knows more.

Next move,
Australian Bethel complex once used by Jehovah's Witnesses is now For sale, Perfect for a progressive Church or group.

That's a HUGE downsizing. Do they really think that, coupled with ongoing pleas for money will simply go unnoticed?... un-talked about?
That's 300+ people returning to Australian congregations telling everyone how Bethel is down to 75 people. Even brain dead culties can kinda-sorta start putting pieces together.
