    Just received two emails

    Recently, it was announced that the Warwick WHQ Project will be completed by September 1, 2016. With a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the Construction Project Committee recently met with representatives from all eleven Warwick Construction Groups throughout the U.S. The purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made. As a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all Warwick Construction Groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)—in a secular environment. Volunteers who have worked at a journeyman level with the tools of a specific trade for consecutive months on Assembly Hall or Remote Translation Office (RTO) projects will also be given consideration.

    Now here’s the difficult announcement – Except for very rare exceptions, wives who may be ‘helpers’ working along with their husbands secularly—but are not able to perform at a journeyman level—will not have the experience needed to be invited to Warwick. However, if a wife is highly skilled in a trade needed at Warwick, consideration will be given.

    We would like to thank all of you dear brothers and sisters for the wonderful support you have already given in behalf of the Warwick WHQ Project. The continued support of you dear wives will enable your husbands to remain available to work on this historic project.

    Dear Friends;

    On September 30, 2015 an update was applied to Builder Assistant. At that time a feature was added that allows you to provide a personal assessment of your skills. You are now able to record formal training, your work history, and the amount of schooling you have received in each skill listed in your profile. You are also able to create brief notes providing additional details regarding your experience.

    All are encouraged to update their skill profiles and provide additional information using these new features. This will provide the Warwick Construction Groups with important information that will help them to identify volunteers that can be used on the project. Thank you in advance for taking the time to update this information. The following link provides additional information regarding this new feature.

    If your not skilled don't bother coming!!!

    About as sexist as it gets, not even the consideration that the wife might be the skilled tradesman.

    Didn't they have an article about Brothers/Sisters leaving their wives/husbands and families for a time period to go to work in another state or country? If I remember correctly, the branch did not speak favorably of a man/woman leaving her/his wife/husband and family to do this. I believe they insinuated that the brother or his wife may be put in a precarious situation while they were apart. As usual, if it is to benefit the WT, the same rules do not apply.

    HYPOCRITES!!

    September 1 2016 - isn't that ahead of schedule? I thought they were targeting early 2017.

    I wonder if it is because of the cost of housing the unskilled spouse or if it is to avoid having shoddy work done.

    The wives of the governing body members have it made no matter what their skill level: they can stay and live a life of luxury.
