  While the Watchtower leaders smugly bury their glorious leaders and eulogise about their dedication to Jehovah i.e. Watchtower Publishing Company , their brothers and sisters of the lower order in the UK are begging for charitable donations through the Jah Jireh care home home site.

  It seems as if some of the millions who will never die are now doing just that and are in need of urgent help because Armageddon or cloud cuckoo land as it is known to the sane, refuses to show up.

  Maybe the past W/T Presidents who have reached their sell by dates residing in the heavenly realm can speed things up a little.

  If you would like to make a donation go to the Jah Jireh website and check out the latest news.

  Could you go into more detail, possibly?

  Some of us may not be able to go to that website or know how to find it...

  ** 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.

  This should be funded by a special collection in the KHs in the UK, kinda like how we used to have special collections for the traveling costs of the Special Pioneers to come home for the international assemblies. There shouldn't be direct begging if they are only going to provide services for JWs.

  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.

  So this is an outside organization NOT part of the official Watchtower Corporations?

  I thought that sort of thing usually got shut down by the society -

  At least Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services provide services to ANYONE who needs them, regardless of religion. I don't know where this advert was placed. If they are only petitioning JWs (in good standing) for funds, fine. Otherwise, it's mighty cheeky of them.

  I wouldn't give them a nickle.... These "long time faithful servants" should have to go begging their df'd and shunned children for help.
