Here in Czech republic WTBS opened new Bethel home for some 60 workers about 18 years ago. It was presented as a proof JHVH is blessing and aproving WTBS and of course as a sign that the end is so close...
Recently I had with my MIL discusions about WTBS selling their property in many countries and cuting costs... She did not believe me....
Last week we went to visit her and she told me there was an anouncment at her meeting, that Bethel is closing down and the building will be sold. Only translating department will remain in the country in other premises and everything else will be moved to Slovakia.
Recently there is Bethel closing down in Spain and Italy and several assembly halls being sold here in Europe.
I hope this will open eyes to many JW to see the GB in fact does not believe in end being so close ...
