    I was driving through the high street in Highbrooms, Royal Tunbridge Wells, UK yesterday.

    In amongst the shop fronts was something ive never seen before. A large shop front with big glass windows,Posters in the windows saying "Start your free bible study today" (or something along those lines.

    Where the shop name would be there was a large JW.ORG logo and a blue banner. Through the window was two arm chairs and a small table. It looked much like the waiting room for an accountants office.

    It literally was a shop front. The most bizare hall ive ever seen. Does anyone here know this hall? Is it even a KH?

    The Lochgilphead Kingdom Hall which was situated in nearby Ardrishaig, was also formerly a shop.

    When the "consolidation of KH's" kicked off, the sheeple were kicked out - and now have an arduous journey in winter-time to reach Oban. Love eh? Never fails!

    Christian science reading room gone bad? Oldtimers tend to disbelieve these things even when they see it.

    I've seen small evangelical churches set up in strip malls, so this isn't too surprising.

    BTW, most new KHs remind me of legalized-cannabis dispensaries.

    I imagine they think they're innovative and special. Their arrogance and piety are a thing to mock.

    And of course the Bible study they are offering is entirely non-sectarian and objective....
