WAS YOUR KH HIT BY CRIME?

it used to get hit with raw eggs sometimes. It was in a residential neighborhood and some of the people living there didn't like it so much. One guy that lived across the street put up a sign saying "Jehovah's Witnesses Not Welcome." And he ended up getting so sick of JWs parking in front of his house (and sometimes blocking his driveway) that he placed garbage cans with "no parking" signs taped to them on the side of the street so JWs wouldn't be able to park there.

The KH I grew up in was broken into by an elder's son. They stole all the PA equipment!!! You know, one of those elder's that thought their kids could do no harm!!!
At christmas we used to cover all the shrubs and trees with tinsel. Once we put up battery-operated lights on everything. But that's not a crime. They weren't too happy about having christmas cards super-glued to the front and back door!!

New construction here last year ... was hit with huge damages/theft (6 figures) by vandals, so they kept a 24-hour watch on the property after that.

No, our kh is out of town on a busy boulevard, so every car goes by fast, and there are houses on each side, so it's well watched.

Some of the talks were crimes of oratory.

That is so funny!! I love tinsel. It's what I missed most about Christmas.

Vandalism. It was an inside job.

I'm surprised they found anything worth stealing. In all my old halls even the sound systems were junk. The only things that consistently worked properly were the toilets, and who's going to steal those? W
