This is just as though they read the Scientology bok on managing Real-Estate! The Co$ does the same thing to avoid being perceived by the IRS as accumulating hoards of CASH!

I thought at some stage they were not going to build one of the resident buildings or maybe they just delayed it.
Since they had initially planned for it and it had been approved, in the long run, it would be significantly cheaper to build it now rather than later on.
If Sir82 is right then could we see Walkill or Patterson be sold off entirely? They are printing significantly less than what they were just a few years ago.

This.
Simplest explanation is usually the likeliest one.

I have to admit, I didn't see that coming.

What a load of tosh.
When they're given the news that they're being axed:
When they're told they can still work for free for the cult:
My question is, if it's "so much fun" being "in the field" why bother applying for Bethel in the first place?
