My wife drove 4 hrs to "interview" for this construction farce. She car-pooled with some Eldubs wives, and they went for drinks, lunch, and made a day of it!
Number of projects participated in since the "interview process" one year ago: ZERO

Thanks for the input. Can somebody please tell me how we first heard about the halt/slowdown? Was it an announcement? An internal memo? What? Sorry that I can't remember and can't find any threads that indicate how. -

Bro. Heard explained the slowdown in construction was to "re-group, to focus better on using the Lord's finances and concentrate on giving the Preaching Work first priority"!
At the Annual Meeting, he stated this again, but then included Bethel Staff reductions to be re-assigned back into the Field and a Major reduction in Special Pioneers.

'The Jehovah's Witnesses are building a new Kingdom Hall south of the Des Moines International Airport, using a team made up entirely of volunteers....
The Jehovah's Witnesses plan to complete foundation and site preparation work this year, then break for indoor renovation projects at other halls over the winter. They will resume construction in the spring and wrap up by August 2025'
