    The story about this was posted here earlier when it all started in Fresno, CA. The community rallied behind this JW family, and one church even gathered enough donations from it's members that they paid off her $25,000 mortgage.

    This was in the paper this morning. She and her family were at the church that donated the money for her mortgage to watch the show. Wonder how that went over with her congregation.

    Here's the story: http://www.fresnobee.com/local/story/1246996.html

    I watched the episode and if they are witnesses, they are not strong ones. The son had long hair and they were using the phrase "Oh My God" as they walked thru their new home--no-nos if you are in the truth!

    Oh, and she went to college!?

    This must be a liberal JW family,..or is this a sign of the ORG going mainstream?

    I went to the link provided and kept looking around and found this..comments from people. Apparently some of them are Jehovah's Witnesses...but pretty interesting..

    I'm glad that they got a new house. They will never return any favour as long as they are witnesses; that is a fact. (unless you call FS a favour

    Did this air yet? How was she the poster child for Easter Seals? That's not very JW. She accepted a donation raised by a church? I'm guessing that it wasn't the JWs.

    This family wil probably become a member of this forum too.

    Now that they have seen that other ( church)people can do better than their own gongregation
