Finding homes for the former 'bethelites' and 'special pioneers'

by Esse quam videri in

since the liberal government has been elected in canada, it seems that people are looking to the future with a little more optimism and hope.

it is only human nature that with change, we would think that the change would be for the better.

the courts have ruled, in canada, that it is unconstitutional to deny the homeless the right to sleep in parks.

Since the liberal government has been elected in Canada, it seems that people are looking to the future with a little more optimism and hope. It is only human nature that with change, we would think that the change would be for the better. The courts have ruled, in Canada, that it is unconstitutional to deny the homeless the right to sleep in parks. Others have suggested, and seem to have strong support from some groups, to open up the churches to the homeless and get them off of the streets, into an evironment where it is warm and safe. Many good hearted people in our society are trying to do what they can to help.

May I suggest that if the 'bethelites' and 'special pioneers' and perhaps even former 'district overseers' and 'circuit overseers' could:

1] live quite cheaply in a tent or shelter in one of these public parkland homeless communities. They would even have a 'territory' to preach in that is probably not on file with their local congregation.'Unassigned territory' it is called. No driving 6 hours north to some remote mountain community. Now they can just walk over to the nearest tent, tap on the flap and bingo, potential bible study.

2] live in the basement of one of the local churches, perhaps Anglican, United or Catholic. Of course they would have to behave themselves by not running down the Church offering them the living accomodations, They would have to refrain from preaching that everyone who belongs to that particular religion will die at Armaggedon and such talk as that. Many of these volunteers working at these local church charities are very willing to help the needy. Perhaps they could even give rides to the 'church homeless JW's' to the meetings at the local Kingdom Halls.

Geoffrey Jackson's Amnesia at the Royal Commission!

by The Searcher in

at 20:00 - 21:30 in his testimony, mr. geoffrey jackson - in answer to mr. stewart's question about the governing body claiming to be god's spokespersons - claimed that it would be presumptuous of them to say that they were the only spokespersons which god was using.

mr. jackson doesn't seem to know what he and his fellow g.b.

members - and the providers of his lifestyle, the wtbts - actually teach as "bible truth.

in answer to Mr. Stewart's question about the governing body claiming to be God's spokespersons - claimed that it would be presumptuous of them to say that they were the only spokespersons which God was using..... I'm sure Mr. Stewart was well aware of what the literature says - despite Mr. Jackson's "humble" answer!

I really wish that Mr. Stewart had re-asked the question thus, ' Please answer YES or NO, Mr. Jackson."

Now known as the Qube. One of the first buildings I worked in after graduating Grade 12. I was 17 years old.

The Qube

The Qube is a building in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

It was built as the headquarters for Westcoast Transmission Co. in 1969 and won the 1970–71 Design in Steel Award from the American Iron and Steel Institute. It was known as the Westcoast Transmission Building from 1969 to 2000, Duke Energy Building from 2000 to 2004, and then was renovated to condominiums as the Qube in 2005.[1]

The building was built from the top down. The thirteen-story[2] core was built first then steel was hung from cables at the top and the 9 occupied floors were successively built downwards.[1]

It is considered to be one of Vancouver's most earthquake-resistant structures.[3]

The building's address was changed from 1333 W. Georgia St to 1383 W. Georgia St. during the condominium conversion. It is located in Vancouver's West End, halfway between the main business district and Stanley Park.

The building was used in the television series MacGyver as the headquarters for the fictional Phoenix Foundation, employer of the title character.[4]
