Here in Holland they sold one of the two assembly halls for approx 10 million euro and expanded the other existing one.
So the Northern part of the country visit the expanded hall in Holland and the Southern part of the country will use a Belgium hall.
So no external halls will be rent for conventions, they use the expanded hall for small conventions in the summer.
It is a business thing: they keep all the money in their own pocket now, also for the conventions. Money is rolling to one side now.
Splane is on his way to Holland this weekend for the dedication of the expanded hall. Maybe he will tell the Dutch JW's more about the generation teaching.
