i know--back in the day--wilf gooch--branch servant UK--stayed with friends of mine--in an ordinary house--for his holidays.
just maybe the WTS has bought this joint to re-sell it to make a few quid---to help the world wide preaching work.

There is a local assembly in the area tomorrow - perhaps it will be announced there? Can't wait to hear how the spin it if it is ...
Hopefully that will be the confirmation that people need.

I believe you Simon.
Reading old posts, your wife is from that area.
Possibly, probably you have old friends, in or out, that share "things" with you.
I have never been to Wales or heard anyone speak the native language.
Wales does look lovely.
Looks like they found a great spot.

I actually think it's good that people are skeptical and insist on evidence - it protects against the types who like to spread wild nonsense just for sensationalist publicity.
This comes from a trusted source so I'd be very surprised if it turned out to be incorrect.
Remember you heard it here first :)

I think it's Geraint (Jones?) in charge of translation into Welsh at Bethel - I think he's a fairly "big hitter" there. I don't know how many translators are involved for Welsh, but for the Scottish Gaelic I know it's definitely no more than 2 or 3. Shocked that they area actually buying somewhere as a HQ for this - seems like a pretty shameless excuse to snap up property and make money on it?

Don't see a big problem with that purchase. They need to house people working there for whatever interests the WT has. End of issue. Luxury? maybe, not lavish. I don't intend to minimize the WT possible misuse of funds, but this would never top my list, nor would it be a big deal even if a member of the governing body uses it as a vacation home. There's much bigger problems with this organization.

It must be noted that every day workers at branches don't live in comfortable accommodations
that this particular house has.
Why so lavish on choice surroundings and at what cost ?
You can best surmise that this house will be used by the big boys in the JW religion, DO, branch heads
maybe even GB members when they vist the UK. .... etc.
.
Remember the WTS. is worth over a billion US so they've got the money now.
