Here's a map. The pedestrian crosswalk (an overpass) is just north of Ace Cash Express, which can be seen clearly in the video, as well as the bus stop across MLK Way.

Purpose & Objectives
Jah-Jireh residential homes are established and run to give accommodation and personal care to dedicated, baptised Jehovah’s Witnesses who are in need of such care. The objective of this care is to provide an environment in which ur brothers and sisters will feel loved and looked after in a theocratic home which is run for their benefit and staffed only by brothers and sisters. This is absolutely necessary for those times when consolation and spiritual encouragement are necessary to care for the brothers and sisters.
We do recognise that the primary responsibility to care for elderly ones lies firstly with their families and secondly with the congregation, however there will be times when this arrangement will not suffice, and this would be the time when Jah-Jireh homes would be able to fill the need.
The homes are established on a firm scriptural basis — James 1:27; Proverbs 3:27,28; Matthew 5:42; James 2:14-17; Matthew 25:35-40. The name Jah-Jireh is also scripturally based —Genesis 22:14. Another objective is to ensure that our brothers and sisters are taken to all the meetings, assemblies and conventions provided that they have the desire and ability to go, and we are able to make this provision.
Overview
Each of the care homes have a Management Team who are supported by a well rounded out staff team many of whom are experienced carers and have worked for Jah-Jireh for at least 5 years. The brothers and sisters spirituality is of primary importance. Local elders and the trustees visit the homes to encourage the brothers and sisters on a regular basis.
Residents can also be taken to the meetings at Kingdom Hall each week and to the best of our ability transport is arranged for assemblies and conventions. A DVD of the convention is available each year for those unable to attend.
Where practical there is provision for the annual memorial celebration with assistance of the brothers and sisters from the local congregation. The Daily Text is considered each day and collective preparation for meetings is encouraged.
The homes come under the oversight of the Senior Care Managers who visit the homes regularly. Residents are encouraged to give feedback about the home on a regular basis.Each home has regular visits by opticians, chiropodists, doctors and dentists.
Jah-Jireh is a charity - not a business. The Charity Registration No is 1062023 and it is registered for the care of Jehovah's Witnesses Only. -

** STOP PRESS ** Jah-Jireh announces Charitably Funded Beds.
June 11th, 2010
• Why? Because government/local authority funding is being refused more & more.
• Who is it for? Those who have been refused funding, cannot fund their own care from capital, and yet really need looking after. Primarily it is to help long-time faithful servants of Jehovah, who come well recommended, but are no longer able to care for their own physical needs.
• Who can apply? Brothers & sisters who have been turned down for funding by social services, and really need caring for.
• How is this possible? It is made possible by the donations and legacies of others.
• How can you help? You may not be able to care for someone yourself, but your donations (one off, regular or by standing order), can help us to meet their needs in a loving spiritual environment. If you are in a position to contribute towards funding deserving residents in this way, your generosity would be much appreciated. -

The incident happened at Martin Luther King Jr. Way South near the arterial's intersection with Rainier Avenue South, in the vicinity of Franklin High School.
A Seattle transportation department plan released in 2006 called for Seattle police pedestrian-safety patrols to target jaywalking, particularly near Franklin High and north of South McClellan Street by the Lowe's hardware store.
Between 2002 and 2006 more jaywalkers were hit by vehicles on Rainier Avenue South than in any other corridor in the city.
During that period, 61 pedestrians were struck while jaywalking on Rainier Avenue South -- nearly double the number of accidents on Aurora Avenue North, which had the second highest number of jaywalkers hit with 35, according to Seattle Transportation Department records.
Also during that period, 23 other jaywalkers were hit in the South End, on Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and on Beacon Avenue South. Those roads also accounted for 126 pedestrian accidents at intersections.
There were six jaywalking accidents on Aurora Avenue North in the several blocks south of North 125th Street between 2002 and 2006, tying that short stretch of roadway with Rainier Avenue South between South Hudson Street and 39th Avenue South for the highest number of jaywalking collisions in the city.

6-story Jesus statue in Ohio struck by lightning, set ablaze
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • June 15, 2010
MONROE, Ohio (AP) — A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.The "King of Kings" statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.
The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police Chief Mark Neu said. The fire department would release a monetary damage estimate Tuesday, he said.
Travelers on Interstate 75 often were startled to come upon the huge statue by the roadside, but many said America needs more symbols like it. So many people stopped at the church campus that church officials had to build a walkway to accommodate them.
The 4,000-member, nondenominational church was founded by former horse trader Lawrence Bishop and his wife. Bishop said in 2004 he was trying to help people, not impress them, with the statue. He said his wife proposed the Jesus figure as a beacon of hope and salvation and they spent about $250,000 to finance it.

Looking For Online Sources Dealing With God, Atheism, Wicked Spirits, Demons...etc..
by mentallyfree31 ini have been doing quite a bit of reading since i "awakened" in december.
most of the reading has been books that were recommended to me.
so far i have read the following: crisis of conscience, in search of christian freedom, combatting cult mind control, releasing the bonds, apocalypse delayed, sign of the last days, who wrote the bible, a history of the end of the world, awaking of a jehovah's witness by diane wilson, thus saith the governing body, captives of a concept, and a few more... i would like to get suggestions on websites that deal with god, atheism, wicked spirits, demons, religion, etc.... do you have any good links that contain such information?

This is all very feel-goody nice-nice and fine. The Witnesses did what any "worldly people" would have to save a neighbor's drowning pet.
For this we should praise them?
How many pets are sorely neglected while Jehovah's Witnesses are out in their door-to-door work, or preparing for and attending five meetings a week?
How many languish in shelters because Jehovah's Witnesses, by and large, refuse to take in pets that would require time and money expended on their "ministry"?
WORSE: How many human children have died, sacrificed on the altar to the Watchtower Society, for lack of standard medical care like a blood transfusion?
Or even basic dental care, because "Armageddon is coming... soon"?
Again, for this we should praise them?
