Yes, I see the photo. If you pm me and give me ur email I'll email it to you.
We lived next door and I was really curious. My father said the goyim there were polite and didn't bother us. We all believed that this was a "respectful" group who maybe even admired us. Now I'm thinking we may have been a little delusional :-)
It's funny, I really had no idea the cars that came on our Sabbath belonged to different groups every week. They were so consistent!
Do you know when that AH was established?

Hi Apognophis! I used to wave to the cars that passed. I was a little Hasidic girl in a pink dress and white tights!
Can you explain the difference between an assembly hall a bit better? Why did the cars come every single Saturday if it was only used a few times a year?

Everyone here is so nice. Does anyone know if there is an archive maybe where historical documents of the JH are kept?
a while back, i told of my wife going by our old kingdom hall and surprised to see an american flag hanging by the window.
i thought this was picture worthy news, and some of you agreed.. well it turns out the congregation sold the hall to a phillipino church.

Hi -- I know this is a very very very old post but I'd like to revive it to ask if there's anyone out here who went to the KH near Kiryas Joel in Monroe NY. I lived right next to it and I'm doing a family history on the area. If you know anything please please be so kind and message me here!

Dear poster,
Thank you so much! I loved this comment because it references the Hall I'm talking about "That Assembly Hall in Monroe was the first I ever attended. In fact my best [now inactive] friend was baptized there in the late 70's...I remember the Hassidim community being very upset that the Witnesses 'worshipped' there among them. outnfree"
Do you know if there's any way I can contact commentors on this site? This person must know more. I was born after the 70s and I'm so surprised that the KH was so active then. I really want to know when the KH was built!
Again, thank so much!

Hi you all,
My name is Frieda. I grew up next door to the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Monroe NY, which is now the village of Kiryas Joel. I am doing research for a family history and I'm trying to get a picture of the KH before it was destroyed. Is there anyone out there who would have any type of picture or know someone whom I could contact? I'm really curious and would love to hear from my old neighbors about your/their impressions.
Thanks!
F
