people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .
what the care home will look like.
No I think Jah-Jireh is one of the highlights of what is good about JW's.
A group of jw people stood up to the Society who did/do zippo nadda nil and nowt for its elderly except say go and be warm and well fed (as long as we don't have to pay) and got these homes built.
Even the Society were too ashamed to go against this but they do nothing to help. Here in the UK the elders are not allowed to put Jah-Jireh newsletters on the noticeboards let alone make an announcement about it.
yes they did say he was a jw in this news report:.

Incredible ... the report says right at the end that Richard White was a Jehovah's Witness and he refused certain medical treatment (he was shot 2 or 3 times) and later died.
So you are so mental that you can try and kill others but you are worried that God is going to be upset if you have certain medical treatment? (Blood obviously)
It's a new level of crazy ...
i brought this up in a conversation after today's meeting.
the elder knowingly acknowledged the growing number and pointed out that of course, now we understand why this is so.
i gave my best blank stare and said "we do?

Very Good!

Yup the May 1st 2007 WT QFR opened the floodgates when it was explained that the old light of 144000 sealed in 1935 (except those dope smoking fornicating old folk that needed replacing) ain't necessarily so.
And up the numbers go ...
Until either we get new brighter brightest light saying all these newbies are whackjobs (who knew?) or the 144,000 is symbolic (like virtually every other number in Revelation) or we've decided not to publish the numbers anymore because even you lot can see through it all.
how many were baptized in your area, last assembly?.
santa paula, ca..........17..
We've got a CA in April - I'm hopeful we'll have just one or two out of 1000 (half circuit) - why?
Well Twickenham DA was in late August 2014 with the hoopla with the Mexican wave and emotional claptrap and we had a CA in October so the 6 or so we had dunked probably were whipped up with enthusiasm late August. So they go home and in mid September their elders would have announced and asked "Anyone wanting to be baptised see the coordinator so you can go through the questions" (Look there's a body of water what prevents me going through the Do GB's Will Book?)
So splashdown for six last October.
Hopefully as mentioned people will have run out of steam so I anticipate low numbers this time. If it's more than 2 then boo-hoo.
here is the segment on the conti abuse case in california and jehovah's witness's response as reported on by the abcnews nightline broadcast which was shown early this morning.
it really displays some absolutely shocking behavior from not only her abuser and his (supportive) wife, but also the jw attorneys and elders via video.
i am just blown away by the audacity displayed by these monsters.. we can now understand why governing body member stephen lett slipped in his comments a couple of weeks ago about "untrue reports of child abuse" in one of his talks which can viewed on the cult's website.
What a fantastic young woman - she is the Watchtowers worst nightmare - articulate, well presented and obviously sincere. I wish I had the courage this young woman has.
What a brilliant report - worthy of the BBC at it's best - remember "Panorama" of about 10 years ago? That is a compliment from a Brit I assure you.
They exposed Kendrick. And his stupid screeching wife "he paid for that crime!" - just confirmed what he is. And the elder submitting to the investigation who admitted he knew.
I hope the floodgates open.
How can you Americans get this on prime time? How can we get it on our side of the pond? Just brilliant.
Thank you Candace Conti.

PMSL.
i am starting this topic because i was wondering, i see many who leave "the truth" are glad because they can finally have a beard.
is having a beard really a no go in congregations?
how is / was it in your congregation?.
hi to anyone reading this, so i little bit about myself.
i'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder.
though i'm not fading as such i no longer believe jw.org is gods chosen organisation so you could say i'm mentally out.

Remember it? Still get it ...
