when i was a kid we used to meet in a cheap rented hall above a shop, then we rented a hall above the community centre, then we bought our own hall right near the high street for lots of money.
Even as a kid it didnt make any sense, if the end was imminent wtf were we doing buying an expensive hall to meet in? They sold that hall about 10 years ago for a very tidy sum and built a hall on the edge of town and had a large slush fund. You can bet your ass it's all gone to cult HQ by now. I can see them being forced to hall share very soon too if they arent already.
