As I recall, I was around 8 years old when our kingdumb hall burned down, Sunday meeting was cancelled.
I can still remember the expression on the sister's face who came to our house to tell us. She was so very, very disappointed. I was so very, very estatic! -

Witnesses say they saw what appeared to be a couple of teens, dressed in black, running away from the area of the church, just after the fire broke out.
Ah yes, satanist-kids burning churches...a rather recent norwegian invention:

Arson is a cowardly act.

Maybe a little off topic:
But I just got to thinking about the concept of "Mystical Manipulation" that is used by cultic groups - the using of supposed "miraculous" testimonials and experiences to convince members that God's blessing is excusively on that one group.
I can remember experiences related where individuals attempted to burn down Kingdom Halls, but by some turn of events, it didn't work; or in some cases, the fire could not be ignited. According to JWs, this is "obvious evidence of angelic protection". These kinds of experiences are related in the Yearbook all of the time. Yet, on this one single thread, I have heard of three separate incidents of Kingdom Halls being burned down. What gives?
Events such as these simply are not talked about at any length. All of the cases where Kingdom Halls and JWs were not protected from terrible acts of crime are not discussed in relation to the "miraculous" experiences. Because to do so would indicate that the angles had abandoned their post; and does not play into the use of Mystical Manipulation.
The truth is, good and bad things happen in all churches, and in all groups. There is no army of angels giving exclusive favor and protection to any one group.
