This is "Fake News".... It is obvious those children are in some sort of demonstration at a meeting somewhere. Not running a "phone bank"

That being said... I also as a child did telephone witnessing.

Two days in May: The Strathpine Kingdom Hall was one of the very first ‘quick builds’ to take place in Australia.

Now this newly released original 1986 archival footage - with voice-over narration, commentary and interviews with those involved - takes an in depth look of those two days in May….

Note: In the thirty years since this KH was built, the JWs in Australia have seen a 5.8% INCREASE in real terms
