we checked on a new senior facility, just to get in your must shell out $200.000.00 and.
don't get that back.
two hundred thousand up front and payments from $2500.00-$5000.00.
In Ontario, Canada, the prices are pretty similar for 'private' seniors residences to the ones you quoted in the OP. Prices go up depending on how many services you want. There are also seniors apartments available that aren't that bad.
If you require a nursing home, these are subsidized by the government. A basic room is under $2,000 a month. If you do not have the basic amount, the government further subsidizes on an individual basis.
yesterday i had an email from amnesty international about the two sisters in an indian village who were sentenced by the village elders to be raped as a punishment for their brother falling in love with a woman from another hindu caste and eloping with her.. amnesty do a great deal of good work but the real force is individuals who sign the petitions and send letters and emails to political leaders.
people power folks, it really works.
for those of us who signed the petition and the rest of the over 300,000 people who did, meenakshi and her young sister thank you.
i took the most recent video on "obey" and edited it down to its core.
here tony explains that the decisions of the faithful slave are arrived at "collectively" but are not a "collection" of man made decisions.
it would be comical if it weren't so sad.. tony video.
despite the governing bodys best efforts, members do leave the faith.
the governing body insists there is no valid reason for leaving the religion.
in fact, their brand new brochure, return to jehovah, lists only three reasons why someone might leave the religion: misplaced guilt, being mad at a witness, and being busy with life.. but of course, there are several valid reasons for walking away from the faith, all of which are much more damning than the sanitized reasons the watchtower society lists.
Hi dot, thanks for posting this.
Such shunning serves to strengthen and protect the group. Not only does it remove burdensome members, but it can correct deviant behavior in such members because they will long to return to normal relationships with their former associates.
While shunning is a method that works to coerce some people, it doesn't work with me. I have NEVER been anyone who grovels after someone's attention, even from my family. If people don't want me around, I don't come around. So shunning is not a method that works all the time with all people. But I suspect it works well enough that Botchtower won't stop using it until it becomes illegal.

thanks.. from south korea.
Welcome pureginseng. I am glad you are feeling better. Eating healthfully is very important.
I am one year older than your Mom.
It is quite difficult to realize the belief system we were brought up in is not 100% The Truth. Keeping your family is very important as long as they are loving. My parents were misled and sometimes mean-spirited towards me and my brothers but I knew it was the religion talking and not their authentic selves.
Try to have a plan for your future and your life. Living someone else's plan will not work well... you will not be happy. I think it is a good start to want to learn English.
What are you passionate about?
wt study edition jan. 2015.
here is the bait:.
as the number of kingdom proclaimers increases and as we near the end of this system of things, there is an urgent need for more facilities.
Wow... thx Villiage Idiot. From that video Elaine Riccaboni was basically threatened that taking a blood transfusion would not allow here to survive Armageddon and therefore, she would not have ever lasting life!
So glad she and her husband didn't listen to those clowns.
My former team lead worked with a guy who sold his house and quit his job because 1975 would bring Armageddon. I suspect this man had to get a new job and acquire accomodation again.
The interesting part of all of this is how Botchtower handles their errors. They certainly don't man up to them but rather, repeatedly, blame their members. What a bunch of a-holes!
generation x+x=generation why?
already bringing "great tribulation" on watchtower readers.
the watch tower society has got some splane-ing to do.
half banana said: Jesus failed miserably in his prophecy as have all subsequent notions of extending further dates to it.
When I was younger, I used to be wonder why the Jews didn't follow and accept Jesus as their Messiah and saviour.
The only conclusion I could come up with was he had to have been viewed as some sort of nutbag.
Just like how we view present day people claiming to be Jesus/the Messiah.
please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?
i always thought it was bullet-proof:.
"if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?
for any lurkers who don't believe the watchtower taught that the world would end in 1975... rare jehovah's witnesses 1968 interview "armageddon and 1975" london watchtower rep speaks to bbc.

but where will this system of things be by that time?
Me and my younger bro were prepping to go to College in the early 1980s. My Mom tried to dissuade us as "the end was so close now". The 2 of us just looked at her with incredulity. I said "Mom, Armageddon was supposed to be here over 5 years ago."
And still, Armageddon has not arrived.
just on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.
you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.
up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.
Shiva said: What is Guardians please?
Hi Shiva... one such reference is related to the testimony of Geoffrey Jackson during the Australian Royal Commission's investigation into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse Case #29 The Jehovah's Witnesses. Jackson referred to the Governing Body as 'The Guardians Of Doctrine', which interestingly enough, creates the acronym G.O.D.
