    Daniel, which news item did you get? I got the one about the Catholic priest convicted of sex abuse. Again...🙄

    Yes we are really sure 😉 Must admit the no-tie-required-policy helped a bit ... but having 35°C for weeks on our black bitumen roof ... Alternative: lets completely redesign and rebuild our KH's with passive warming and cooling like southern countries .. In the meantime ... we are sure 😁

    We have no AC our KH is in the countryside and if it’s hot all doors and windows are open
  8. On the huh
    Open windows and doors as soon as the attendants brothers arrive. The main entrance is unlocked and open until the meeting starts. There is a brother on security at the entrance. Then the main door is locked, and gates closed. Our new hall will have AC, but no windows and only the fire exit door in the auditorium. The AC also handles the heating in the winter.

    A lady was walking down the sidewalk when she met a little girl with a box of newborn kittens. So she asked the girl all about her kittens, even asking what religion they were. The little girl said they were Catholic; the lady thought that was adorable. The next week, the lady was walking with her friend and boasted about the girl's kittens being Catholic. When they came to the little girl with her kittens, the lady's friend asked what religion they were. This time, the girl said they were Jehovah's Witnesses. The two women gasped: "Why?" and "How?" The little girl replied: "Well, their eyes have opened now".

    Hm, that is interesting, I thought that these instructions apply worldwide, but probably not. We have to close and lock all doors and windows 25 minutes before the meeting at latest (usually it happens even earlier than that). They also stay closed and locked during and after the meeting. Brother that is responsible for that unlocks and allows others to enter/exit kingdom hall. Not only that, locked are even doors in the fence at the entrance to KH premises (but these are locked only during the meeting and there is no impact to parking because we park outside KH premises). These are specific instructions we received from the branch and it is like this for some time already (it started few months after shooting attack in Germany). Good AC is therefore really required here.

    Interesting point you make, Igor, I don't believe that this is something our brothers would normally do until the time of the meeting start. We have brothers at the entrance to open for those arriving after the start of the meeting. We don't have opening windows in our hall.

    The earth is using what it can to rebel against mans determination to ruin it. Jelly fish population soars, plugging sea water intakes of nuclear plants. But it all has a dual edge, plastics in the water and warmer water cause swarms of jelly fish. And warm water cant be used to 'cool' the reactors because the released water would be super hot causing catastrophic damage to sea life. Reactors have been shutting down in many places making it unbearable in 104f weather! Just where does all this stop? How much longer Jehovah?

    All windows and doors should be closed and locked 25 mins before the meeting start, so probably you mean that you open everything much before the meeting start?

    We don't have AC in our kingdom hall. I hope we will look for AC given more and more heatwaves are coming. In the meantime we use the fans.
  18. Dolce vita started following Kingdom halls without AC in Europe

    Jesus seems to be enjoying the change...☺️
  20. Dages
    In Japan, there are AC everywhere, but I remember in my cong in France, getting people to accept AC 20 years ago wasn't easy, it was delayed many times, now they are very happy with it

    Europe generally has a cold climate, Are you guys really sure its AC you need your Kingdom Hall?
  24. Mike047 started following Kingdom halls without AC in Europe
  25. Mike047
    We have AC here at our kingdom hall; it is very good to have especially during this heatwave, but it can also be very drafty around your legs. Worth putting up with.
  26. Ishaya
    A lesson indeed for us, It seems like sometimes Jehovah may give us what we ask for just so that we can realize for ourselves that we don't really need it 😂
  27. Ishaya
    We have heavy solar installation in our kingdom Hall,although the fans are just enough for us in our locality, but it won't be a bad idea to have the AC for the added comfort.
  28. Jim Jam
    We have fans
  29. Dré
    Until recently, our two-story Kingdom Hall had ceiling fans. After submitting an application to the Bethel office for renovation, we had air conditioners installed on both the first and second floors. Now we can practically freeze ourselves while listening to the program and the prepared talks.
  30. On the huh
    No AC, just ceiling fans. Open windows and doors to let in fresh air, although in hot weather it doesn't help much - just let in the hot air.
  31. Giuseppe Romanazzi
    We are fortunate to have air conditioning in our Kingdom Hall, and given the brutal heatwaves hitting Europe—and so many other regions around the globe dealing with record-breaking temperatures—it really makes a world of difference. My heart goes out to all the brothers and sisters worldwide who are sitting through meetings in high heat without AC; it definitely takes extra perseverance! On a lighter note: Do you know who would appreciate AC very much in the new world? Jonah!
  32. Hannah
    Do you have AC in your Kingdom Hall ? With climate change and 4 heat waves here in Europe it becomes more difficult to attend meetings when there is no AC Are you suffering too from the heat ?

In each case look for the pdf, hover "pdf" to download. I'm sure there are other bibles there as well. Use the search bar or scroll to the bottom to see others in the same category. Extremely useful site. Our old books are there as well. https://archive.org/download/watchtowerbooks

      Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”
