Kingdom Hall WiFi Passwords Only For JW's in "good standing"?

[Jack Ryan]

Wifi passwords of KH in Japan are only for ppl of good standing.

Is this happening in other countries?

Wouldn't that be similar to bathrooms are only for baptized JW's in attendance? All others use the bucket out back!

Interesting to see that you highlight how the JW Elders in Japan are clearly unitedly following the direction of the Governing Body as per the letter of December 2, 2017 

December 2, 2017 - Re: Using and Maintaining Kingdom Halls

43: Internet Service: If the bodies of elders using a Kingdom Hall determine that having an Internet connection at the Kingdom Hall would benefit the congregations and that the congregations can afford it, the elders should present the publishers with a resolution to obtain such service. If Internet service is obtained, it may be made available for use by congregation publishers.

However, please note the following direction in this regard:

• Access to the Internet should be password-protected.

• Only publishers in good standing should be permitted access.

• The password should not be announced publicly. Instead, it should be given to the approved publishers individually.

• The primary use of the Internet at the Kingdom Hall should be for theocratic purposes. Hence, if a publisher were to use the Kingdom Hall connection to access inappropriate websites, his connectivity privilege would be revoked.

• If it is determined that a publisher should no longer have access to the Internet at the Kingdom Hall, the elders should change the password. The publisher should not be allowed access until the elders are convinced that the individual has rectified his conduct.

• It would be wise to change the password periodically and redistribute it individually to those publishers approved to have it.

You know Jack .... I think it is hypocritical to the extreme that you are very concerned about the Kingdom Hall's networking system getting into YOUR laptop computer or devices, ...... yet you are indignant, and you seem to think you have a natural right to get into THEIRS.
