  JW Broadband???

  by Gladring in

  the congregation my parents belong to (they live in ireland) has been having a massive refurbishment recently.

  apparently the congregation wanted to spend about 20k euro, but the society pushed for spending 100k euro "so that they won't have to do it again in 10 years time".. .

  anyway, my dad was talking about changing his broadband provider, and he mentioned that he was going to wait, because some brothers came to his house with an aerial and they can receive the kingdom hall's new broadband.

  the Ireland branch--> issues over the years

  by WildeLover in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hi all.

  the irish branch has had lots of drama over the years from john may in the 1980s to the recent removal of practically all the branch committee in the mid noughties to its being closed down quite recently.. i heard on the grapevine that two of the branch committee had actually come to physical blows and there was blood on the carpet.. also many many witnesses spoke of the totalitarian environment there.. does anyone have anything further to corroborate or add to this?.

  Only in America?

  by cedars in

  about 10 years ago i visited the three new york bethels - patterson, brooklyn and wallkill.

  at the time, i was still very much mentally infatuated with the organization, so the trip was filled with wonder and nostalgia.

  i can remember being told by a tour guide at wallkill that they were now so familiar with things constantly changing and being improved that the information they give on tours can quickly become out-of-date.
