a letter was read tonight at the meeting with this information.. apparently, three years ago the gb authorised the uk bethel to consolidate all the uk resources.
so far over 300 sites have been looked at but more information will be forthcoming.. in the meantime we can work to this end by saving so that we can contribute to the new facility.. also skilled and unskilled trades people can register for volunteer work, collect an application form from the secretary.. to me it seems like they are going to move out of london (mill hill, bittacy hill etc), get a cheaper area, pay for the new facility with donations and free labour.
they will then sell all the high value property and probably send the money to the us.
Anyone willing to scan the letter and post for us via sendspace? Would love to see the letter.
The last time this happened was after the incident of 9/11 in NYC and I remember well an announcement in one of the KM's that stated the GB has decided not to proceed with plans to relocate the UK Bethel due to the scene of this world had dramatically changed. No direct mention of 9/11 but you could tell by reading between the lines.
Peace out, Davey

in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
Hi Granny Grace, I really hope you get well very soon and you are much loved on this forum. You have helped others a lot and many appreciate that so lots of hugs from me!

The one cantleave listed was for Waverley Congregation which has since moved to 9a Restalrig Drive, Edinburgh, EH7 6JX which is also for Portobello Congregation. The hall that used to be in Broughton Street was very central located in Edinburgh and was part of an appartment block which you had to take one flight of stairs from the bottom to reach the hall. Very inaccessible for disabled, infirm and elderly ones so it made sense for a new one to be built for modern standards.
I found a list of Assembly Halls in Germany on the link below:

i am acting as an in-between for a good friend who is not part of this site.
his family were a century involved in the wtbts in the lower bc mainland; not to mention nw washington state.. he is no longer a member of the jw's.
we're great friends; i knew him 25 years ago, long before i discovered this site (love it simon: yes, still all those years later).. anyways, he wants to get rid of bound volumes from approximately from the years: 1940 - until - 2000.. he asked me to intervene.
Hi everyone! Does anyone have volumes based in Netherlands or Belgium as there are one or two that I would like to have.
Many thanks!
