Quite an experience....I feel some patties too :-(
It was really nice of you and your wife to assist those that are less fortunate. I, too, had the experience of helping out some folks there when I visited a school to plant some trees as a part of an environmental awareness project. The locals are really appreciative of any assistance they receive. The health facilities there are in need of help...every little thing helps.
A couple years ago, I went to Jamaica for a week, but packed an entire suitcase with books, pens and other stationaries to give away to the kids in the community where I stayed.
Yes, as you travel you'll realize that many folks hate the JW's...in Jamaica, many persons firmly beleived that 1975 would be a big year, and here we are many years later.
The experience of the folks there preaching is interesting...the older JW's get more extreme as time goes on and also give the impression that they're better than "worldly" people.
Jamaica is a nice place to have a vacation especially at an all-inclusive hotel...you took some nice pictures.

Hey confused!
I am a yardie born and raised and I can attest to being called a Jehovah's Wickeness growing up back home as a child In Kingston! It was rough!
Your post brought back so many vivid memories of my childhood and now I'm extremely homesick. Now that I'm out I cannot wait to get home this year and fully absorb myself in island life.. Full ital rasta experience and all!
We still have many JW friends there, many of whom are family friends and strong popular connections in the org, but I never tell them when we are coming. We stay in Negril, and have a blast! Glad you got to experience the country life!
The pics are awesome! Irie, man!

@SophieG: Negril is quite nice...Rick's Cafe is awesome...some nice places to eat and hang-out!
What I like with Negril is the ease to get around...the cabs are right at your finger tips.

LOL! Yes I know....It's whole lot of fun. Crazy partying free loving people. Watch out for rum punch!!!
I love going home it really centers me! I'm a really glad you got to experience it!
i wouldn't be surprised if I name dropped that your wife would know members of my family. I grew up around special pioneers who featured in publications who were always to our home and a well known CO back in the late 70s who loved my mother's cooking. My cousin was a long time pioneer and my mom was brought in during the 60s by a well known elder from Mobay! It's a tiny island but "erry-body know somebody!"
Kool Jo- Yes... But we walk it when we go...it's way funnier because the locals always tell us wi mad if wi walk! LOL! Not sure if Sharks roadside shack near Ricks is still there but the couple that own it cook really good food! Check them out next time...they were across from Tensing Pen resort.
ok..I gotta stop...don't wanna railroad the thread...must go cry now... HOMESICK!!!!
