    Was your Kingdom Hall ever broken into or vandalized?

    Many years ago, around 1991 or 92, our Kingdom Hall was broken into. We had just purchased this heavy duty file cabinet, it was fire proof, smash proof, you name it, at least that's what we were told, this baby cost us over $900.00. The contents had ALL publisher files and BOE's and every other "For Elder's Eyes Only" documents.

    Needless to say, someone broke in, a couple of old time pioneers who had the keys to the hall came in one early Saturday morning, I arrived a few minutes later from Bethel (I was Literature Servant) and the police were there. That $900.00 file cabinet was ripped apart like a can of sardines. Files, papers, talk outlines, letters all over the place. We were told nothing was missing. The works of "apostates"? who knows!

    My KH was broken into at least three times in the 60s and 70s. They always went for the sound equipment, the only thing of value in the biulding. A cinder block had been thrown thru a window when no one was around and windshields had been smashed during meetings on a few occasions, twice on memorial night.

    couple years ago..black spray paint on the windows and the red brick... pantagram (is that the right word for the so-called devil sign) on the back brick...

    i was amazed that the brother who cleaned it up was able to get it off...only if you knew exactly where to look could you tell...and then barely...

    I may not like what goes on in a KH, but no reason to deface the building...
