    Wow... Thank you again. How can the "brothers" read this crap out loud at the meeting and keep a straight face? It sounds so over the top now.

    "If these five buildings were placed on top of each other, they would be 25 storeys high!"

    That's one higher than the Grenfell block that burned down. Is the comment meant to be topical, or unwittingly so? It was sent just days after.

    The "newsletter" is a single sheet of paper with about 100 words on it? I kept checking for more.

    They seem pretty enthusiastic anyway. No hint of scaling back there.

    "No hint of scaling back there."

    I dunno - how many "apartments" to a floor - 6?

    X by 25 = 150 x 2 people per apartment = 300 residents? This might even include guest accommodation for visiting GB members and other "dignitaries."

    Huge scale back from present facilities (which will easily pay for this and then some.)

    Once they're completed by deluded volunteer drones doing "Jehovah's work" (and avoiding D2D and cart work) watch out for the mass firings of even more Bethelites (no more printing from March next year remember) ...

    Bethelites being enthusiastic about this = turkeys voting for Xmas!

    The main criteria will be what it can be used for when they sell it. Maximise returns.

    Don't go to college.

    Don't pursue a career.

    Waste your youth in full-time service.

    Hold off having kids.

    What's that? You studied for a trade anyway despite our advice? Come work for us for free!!

    Yes, honor Jehovah (JW.borg) with you valuable things.

    This is described as 'phase one'.

    It's 171 residences in five blocks - with two-per-residence, that makes room for 342 people.

    Each block is five levels which includes a bottom level 'undercroft' (half underground) for car-parking, with four levels above with apartments.

    The full phase shows 16 residential blocks (although they're of various sizes, it would seem that they each average out to be comparable to 'phase one' which therefore comprises about 30% of the 'full phase')

    "wondrous expansion in Britain "... "oh and massive cutbacks in other Bethel's around the world."
