    The first thing I'd likely notice is the children being beaten in front of the hall or in the bathrooms/back room.

    The first thing I'd notice would be my brain cells starting to die.

    Had to go back for my grandmother's funeral couple of months back and the major thing I noticed that I never saw before, was how much they all look alike... They have this blank expression plastered on their faces... no real individuality. It was a little creepy.

    Actually, I just got back from the KH. The first thing I noticed tonight was how the kids are allowed to hang out in the foyer with no reprocussions because we are all related to the PO.

    Second, I noticed how someone can use the Bible to tell people how to hold a microphone. Not too close, not too far away, just like the Bible says to hold the mic. (1st half)

    Third, I noticed how the song on the opposite page of the one sang in half time (#128) looks like a tribute to Hitler. About the Nazirites, subtract rites. Read it and you will laugh.

    Fourth, I noticed how well the local needs didn't fit the local need.

    Lastly, I noticed how no one cried when a kid got DFed. She had problems, probably because she had a traumatic childhood. Of course, there's no patience for people who need help, especially ethnic kids, as we know they tend to be a little racist.

    Then another song. The weirdos who sing off key and too loud, the sermon at the very end to allow that elder to get a final word in while pretending to talk to some god. Then back to the off-limits foyer for another anti-social teenager gathering (my guilty self included).

    How uncomfortable are the chairs now? And what is the current scripture in the ugly gold letters on the wall.

    Actually, I would notice if anyone was keeping up the landscaping or if they finally remodeled.

    Going inside I would notice if anyone came up to talk to me (not da'd or df'd) and wondering what the first thing would be out of their mouth.

    But I might as well be talking about what would happen if I flew on the space shuttle, because it would more likely happen.

    I have always wondered what it would be like if I went to a KH where no one knew I had ever been a JW and see how they treated me. I did this when I traveled. I would say that 95% of them were not very friendly to a newcomer. One sister practically ran away when she found out I was already baptized...no point in wasting time she couldn't put on her time slip.

    There is a desktop PC in our kingdom hall. Has been for years. I don't think it has internet access however.
