  JW Broadband???

  by Gladring in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the congregation my parents belong to (they live in ireland) has been having a massive refurbishment recently.

  apparently the congregation wanted to spend about 20k euro, but the society pushed for spending 100k euro "so that they won't have to do it again in 10 years time".. .

  anyway, my dad was talking about changing his broadband provider, and he mentioned that he was going to wait, because some brothers came to his house with an aerial and they can receive the kingdom hall's new broadband.
