I live in the area and the news is reporting that the community of non-Jehovah's Witness are really rallying around the family such as raising money for the family. I hope this changes the JW view of worldly people as evil and non-loving.

I work for the Red Cross and make sure that possible contaminated blood does not get out the door. I feel more pride working for the Red Cross then I ever did as a JW.

The world ends on May 27, 2012....
by pseudoxristos inor so says ronald weinland;.
may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.
for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

by Shawn10538 init occurred to me that there may be larger hot spots of ex jws in other places besides so cal.

March is Red Cross month. Please give blood even if you can't get an ex-JW group together. I work for the Red Cross and the need for blood never stops.
