well, ok, but targeting a german christmas market seems a little hypocritical...

That was back in the day when subscriptions were sold - sorry, 'placed' - for a set price.

Anyone else remember those days? 1960s.

I remember, 7 shillings and sixpence for a full year!

The one located at the Lake District is connected to the K.H. via a gate and wheelchair ramp.

Lol. No special discounts then!

My wife's mother is in a nursing home for which the family has to pay £745 PER WEEK.

So it's a real money spinner.

Some more info. I've been aware of Jah Jireh homes for many years now. Initially, according to my JW mother, just one home was set up and that was meant to cater exclusively for elderly witnesses with a long and established history of WT service. That would have been around 20 years ago. My mother had it in mind that as she became more infirm that she would like to apply for a "place" there. So she went to visit. She returned sadly disillusioned. I think she thought that the residents sat around singing Kingdom melodies all day while being waited on hand and foot. Sadly, my mother died shortly afterwards anyway.

suggestions for a bird lover

by sowhatnow in

i want to know id anyone has an inexpensive easy way for me to install some sort of sound system so i can hear the outside birds in my house in winter.

i have to doors closed its like 30 degrees outside, i stepped out to toss some bread crumbs and heard so many birds outside, and i would love to hear those birds in my kitchen while i eat.

would a cheap baby monitor work ?

A window suction pad bird feeder is ideal for tits and other song birds. The bigger birds won't use it. Generally it's only the smaller perching birds that sing - birds that walk but don't hop don't sing!

Feed them some grain and dried mealworms like this great tit is enjoying and you'll soon have a regular supply of visitors.

snugglebunny

Something more traditional perhaps?

How do you overcome SHUNNING after leaving the organization and move on?

by suavojr in

friends

it amazes me how many of you have left it all behind, including family, brothers and sisters, friends and a full network of people.

i for one cannot find the courage to breakaway, and this causes me great anxiety and stress.

it eats me alive to think that if i open my mouth everyone i know will simply turn their back on me.

snugglebunny

I prepared, but I had the time because I knew what was coming. I established a new social scene for myself because even though I wasn't going to make friends too quickly, I wasn't going to sit around on my own and mope. So I joined various clubs and organisations just to keep busy.

I also made sure that I wasn't going to put myself in a position where someone could cut me dead. That would have been so demeaning and bad for my self esteem. Instead I made sure that I was the one who turned away. That worked so well because, on several occasions people said to me: "Hey! It's us who are shunning you, OK?"
