    "The Jah-Jireh homes have been established and are run wholly and solely to give accommodation and care to those members of the community of Jehovah's Witnesses who are in need of residential home care at a time in their life when they need others to care for them."

    SO THATS WHERE THE GOVERNING BODY LIVE !!

    Sounds the ideal scenario for JW's to look after JW's. The reality is somewhat less than ideal.

    --"This staffing provided only by Jehovah's Witnesses is absolutely necessary for those times when consolation and spiritual encouragement are necessary to care for the residents."--

    It would be interesting to see if someone would challenge this stance. The Race Relations Act in the UK forbids discrimination on religious grounds. What would happen if a qualified person was to apply for a position there, I wonder?

    --"We do recognise that the primary responsibility to care for elderly ones lies firstly with their families and secondly with the congregation (see 1 June 1987 Watchtower). However there will be times when this arrangement will not suffice"--

    The sad thing is that many of these old people have no family to care for them. When they were younger they were pioneering, being CO' etc and avoiding children because the end was nigh. So now they have no family.

    There are a lot more things wrong with this set up but I may leave that for another day.

    I'd forgotten about that place, I had a friend that worked/volunteered there while she pioneered.

    How do they get past the CO working evenings and nights? Wekends too? Or are all residents well enough to go to meetings with the staff?

    I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind. What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted. Solomon

    Ivor Hope,

    The sad thing is that many of these old people have no family to care for them. When they were younger they were pioneering, being CO' etc and avoiding children because the end was nigh. So now they have no family.

    So true! It is so sad to observe the loneliness which many experience due to the sacrifices you mentioned. So sad......what a price they paid.

    Latte,

    I've seen them sitting crying when they think back to the years they have given to the B-Org and the sacrifices they have made, only to find themselves being shunted round, made to get up when they are fast asleep in the morning and put to bed when they are wide awake at night.

    Seems awfully strange that NOWHERE on the page ( http://www.jah-jireh.co.uk/) does one find the WTS's official seal, nor any official words of endorsement by the WTS. Things don't appear to be on the up and up here!

    Daniel 11:35 ... a KEY prophecy that must be fulfilled before the "time of the end" gets underway.
