New Arrangement For Kingdom Hall Libraries!!! (page 2)

simplesally

I always thought it was so stupid when I attended a Hall that was used by 3 congregations and the elders demanded that there be 3 separate "libraries" even though all were English! The newest of the group could not even fill up one shelf of a regular bookcase yet that was "their" library!

So would Crisis of Conscience be put with the reference books? Or should it be alphabetized with the study books? Maybe we should ask the secretary?

Will my UN library card work there?

LOL... good one...

Isn't it odd that lately the WTBTS is changing names to EVERYTHING... and/or giving directions to the R&F to use certain terms instead of the way they used to go by or describe things differently?

Theocratic Rules for Kingdom Hall Library Use

1. No shoes, no shirt, no books!
2. One hundredth visitor receives free 6-month extension to personal Awake! subscription.
3. No eating or drinking allowed in the library - drinking has reference to water, milk, soda, fruit juice, coffee and tea.
4. Copy machine requires 25 cents per copy. Use of slugs will result in a penalty of double the price for all future copies.
5. Second Sunday of each month -- unbaptized neighbors may accompany you to the library, and you may count the time spent with them there.
6. Overdue book fees - Your choice: 10 cents per day or preparation and delivery of an additional student talk for each past due day.
7. Forgetting to whisper: someone other than you will correct your next written review paper -- no choice.
8. If you catch someone tearing out a page from a book -- the guilty person must prepare and deliver your next scheduled student talk.
9. Children and teens may not use the copy machine for anything but theocratic projects unless accompanied by an adult.
10. Anyone caught sleeping in the library will have deducted an equal amount of time from his current month's field service report.

Sooo funny... I especially liked:

Only authorities know which book is "duplicated one". So only "secret police" know the "old stuff," which will make trouble to flip-flp policy of Waco and Dark Society. Hehehe. All old stuff will be dumped with permission with this new arrangement. That's all. You 're brothers and sisters of the KH, you will never know about "Millions Living Now..." brochure was existed. No more Studies in the Scriptures of "the Apostate" Charles Taze Russell, for he never accepted an Theocratic Organization at all.

Hehehe !!!!

So I guess the CORE of what the WTS provides is, 'somethin' to do'.

Also, some self-important 'rules to follow' and 'rules to impose'.

So perhaps the foundation of this religion is a belief that 'Idle hands are the Devil's workshop'?

Oh no. That's 'idle minds', isn't it?

Never mind.

What I find a bit strange about these libraries, is that no books can be lent, be taken out of the library. It is not so easy to write and cross-reference and take notes when there are people coming to and from all the time, and one doesn't have a key to get there when there are no meetings ..............

Hippie,

Elders know the integrity level of the average witness. They'd never get them back. As a result you end up with a library that no one can use....except maybe as a back drop for sister hottie's detailed confessions to loser elders.

Amazing how Jehovah continues to change his mind about everything.Even just a few years ago the society was reminding each cong that they should have their own library even if more than one cong met at the same hall.

What a crock this stupid religion is. I'm disgusted that I was ever a part of it.
