They missed a great merchandising opportunity. Wouldn't you just love your kids to have Caleb and Sophia dolls? ππ± But the big missed opportunity is with Sparlock action figures! πΈππ

Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.
by JEMIMAH injust 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.

They definitely can't forget what they are desperately trying not to remember! π±π
Was there ever any communication from HQ that Halls should not use 1914 as an alarm code?
More interestingly, did any gang of thieves cotton on to this situation and start knocking over Kingdom Halls? πΈπ₯Έπ₯· Would an average Kingdom Hall be worth robbing? Apart from maybe the sound system, was there anything that might tempt a crook?

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

A lot of people turning up to a gathering wearing fake beards and saying "Jehovah": sounds like The Life of Brian! π±ππ

Sounds like you had an interesting past, Sea Breeze!
It's a pity that they treated you shabbily after you made a go of your life and came back into the fold. The Watchtower seems to be short on forgiveness and long on remembering mistakes made in youth.

What about letting sisters wear pants?
by Ron.W. inso there was nothing in scripture about brothers having beards... do the 'scriptures condemn sisters wearing pants'...???.
excessive control.
the september 2016 watchtower article "does your style of dress glorify god?

Actually, the whole ban on trousers for women is ridiculous to its core. In the northern areas where cultures developed trousers, presumably for warmth, they were attire for both men and women.

You had two elders working for you? That must have been an interesting power dynamic...

Interestingly, an apple contains about the same amount of sugar as a Cadbury Picnic bar.

It's interesting that the rapid rise in obesity in the western world seems to coincide with the adoption of the "food pyramid". I believe the US government adopted the food pyramid in about 1977, and the rapid climb of the obesity curve begins in about 1980. With the food pyramid came a lot of today's standard dietary advice: don't eat red meat, eat polyunsaturated oils, eat a lot of grains, legumes and fruit π π, don't eat cholesterol laden foods, etc.
I imagine all that "good advice" has turned up in various WT publications over the years.

Bringing this BTTT, not just because it's amusing.
Given that 1914 seems to be fading from the collective JW consciousness (such that some on here dare to speculate that it may even be dropped one day), do you think that 1914 is still a popular code at Kingdom Halls?
