Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.
by JEMIMAH in
1. jw
2. friends
just back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.

beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .

a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.

we've talked before about how ineffectual field service is, but i decided to test the idea.

i asked the question "what do you know about jehovah's witnesses?

" on a non-witness related board and got some interesting results.

by jurs in

2. friends
perhaps someone out there knows if this is a common jw paranoia.

once a sister in my hall was going to have a baby.

because she wasn't in the "click" no one offered to give her a baby shower.

Does God still exist for you?

i'm quite new to this forum (only a handful of posts).

but from what i've read up to now, it seems apparent that some of you have abandoned your belief in a god.

is this because of trauma brought about by the jw religion?

The Society loves its young people
by Omega Man in

>do you remember at assemblies when you would hear talks on how the organization loves its young people.

by publishing a book "young people ask" this would be pretty much the extent of what they would do for it's young people.

it would be like a father saying to his kids i love you, here is a book how to live your life and never spend any time with them.
