    If that doesn't work either, then go to Kent's forum and go to General Discussions, and go to the bottom of the page, and click on page 4, then you will see the topic.--Thanks. Sorry the threads aren't working properly.

    Take care everyone--Voyager

    I'll take that block off. It was put on when there was bashing of this place but the people involved have since been kicked off there I believe.

    Thanks again Simon, as I have missed you, and I enjoyed reading your experiences in your past JW life, that you had posted. Aren't we all so glad that we are free. Your friend Voyager.

    ima..I had forgotten there were some probs over there w/JWD, but apparently Kent's website was blocked from being posted. Which is why his URLs didn't show up. I'm a stupid head sometimes and forget things...*LOL*

    The blocking system is still blocking the urls, as I tried it twice and it it is still not working. So type in all of these:

    http:// kent.steinhaug .com /forum/showthread .php?s=&threadid =2889

    Type in all of those, and click go. Here in Fla. we have noticed a problem in urls listing on certain forums, as Simon's forum is (not) the only one that seems to be having this occurr. Thanks. Imallgrowedup--are you still kicking the Towers but? Have missed your E-mails. Talk to ya later--Love to all of you.---Voyager

    If I may be of some assistance:

    The Hydrecs 50/50 Payday Lottery.

    The 50/50 payday lottery is a huge success among employees throughout the province. (ALL) funds raised through this lottery are held in The Hydrecs Fund's Gaming Account until issued to a (charity) with which Hydrecs maintains (a relationship).

    Half of (ALL) proceeds go into (Hydrecs Relationship Fund).---with the other half going to the winning employee. As of December 2002,-- 2,109 employees were enrolled in the 50/50 Payday Lottery.

    A maximum of $5,000 can be donated to (one charity) through the Gaming Account unless special permission is granted from the Gaming Commission to increase the funding level. (ALL Hydrecs),-gaming funds are used to (Develope ongoing relationships with Charities). The draw complies with all BC Gaming Commission rules and regulations. The Gaming Account closing balance was $17,876.48 as of December 31, 2002.

    The above information--and more-- can be viewed by scrolling down about 1/2 here: http://www.powerpioneers.com/files/...nnual_Repor.pdf http://www.powerpioneers.com/files/hydro_publications/HYDRECS_2002_Annual_Repor.pdf

    Now, why don't we see who is benefiting from all of this:
    By going here, you will note there are 4 pages of organizations: http://www.powerpioneers.com/files/...ity_Listing.pdf http://www.powerpioneers.com/files/hydro_publications/Hydrecs_2004_Charity_Listing.pdf

    Please note these numbers and letters:
    1.Page 2---Far right list column--#985 Jehovah's Witnesses Departure Bay Congregation.

    2. Page 2---Next to far right list column--#849 Greater Vancouver Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    3. Page 2---Far left list column--#C14 Cagultlam Centre Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    4. Page 4---Far left list column--#A56 Spanish Central Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    5. Page 4---Next to far right list column--#B41 Vancouver & BC Marine Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    6. Page 4---Far right list column #111--Watchtower Bible & Tract Society.

    If you are donating to a lottery--or if you are receiving contributions from a lottery--even in part--then you are still taking part. I personally know of many Jehovah's Witnesses who have been disfellowshipped for taking part in (less serious) activity. And yet the Watchtower Society and (several) congregations are receiving donations from this activity. Activity they condemn others for. What hypocrites.

    The Watchtower Society (does not care) where it get it's money from --or who suffers in the process, all they know is that THEY WANT MORE.
