Kingdom halls without AC in Europe

[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 ?

[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!

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.

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.

We have fans

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.

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 😂

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.

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

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?
