Wouldn't it make sense to pay the cost to bury the cables and avoid these scenarios going forward?

when will JW.ORG  update It's Version of JW Library  for Chromebook  OS.

Don't know how else to name this topic.
One of the hard things about being Christian is putting up with the handful of crazy people in our ranks.
The story broke after there was an "arson attack" on one of our halls.. there was a big gasp of anxiety among brothers I know to begin with, until I saw the pictures...

The State Security Agency (I suppose it's similar to Homeland Security) quickly had begun investigating the case because there had already been some minor attacks on the same hall with graffiti and minor damages.
Later, the story was amended

Another report indicates the silly woman was quickly identified to the police by brothers who had video surveillance material of her carrying out the arson attack and was arrested the moment she arrived at her home on her bicycle, after which her bicycle was examined revealing traces of the charcoal lighters on her bicycle.
Supposedly she did not feel accepted in the community and had an argument with somebody or something.
No major damage was done but she obviously caused a huge circus. Not to mention all the embarassment and putting shame on Jehovah's name.  A lot of the comments from worldly people on facebook are along the lines of "The poor helpless lady probably lost everything to this wicked sect and couldn't think of any other way to fight back" and comments from brothers of course are all along the lines of assuming persecution.
So, a very negative and sad piece of news but I felt the need to share to get the full story across. Probably only half the story is going around facebook, instagram, whatsapp and so on.. the perpetrator in this case was just a nutty, frustrated "community member" (whatever that means, sister, study, interested person, I don't know).

@The Librarian
it's International day of peace tomorrow as always on Sept 21st
this year the theme is Peace & safety & dignity for all 
some Bibles translate 1 Thess as Peace & Safety as an alternative to Peace & Security 
just interesting how Peace & Safety or Security seems to be on so many lips regarding world leaders when actually the opposite is true with dire threats etc of nuclear war with North Korea
the mother of #fakenews Peace & Safety?!!! ????

I didn't hear a cry of "Peace & Security" in his speech.
I heard it more with Reagan in 1982 ish in front of the UN GA.

I bet that rattled some nerves ....
