General Chat

Thank you, Hazel - very kind of you. :-) Joy [ Anglican; married to Christopher who has been ordained in the United Reformed Church; and employed by the Salvation Army - how's that for a good mixture?! :-) ]

The Watchtower is a Jehovah's Witness publication - though I prefer Jimi Hendrix' version. The Sally army's mag is "The War Cry". For more info: http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/en/home.htm nell

Yes I think the Salvation do a lot of good work. I know they help the homeless. They have done so for a very long time. They take people in who may have alcohol or other problems and cannot find shelter or homes in other establishments. I always contribute to their collections when I see them. I am glad they arent in the red and hope they can continue with good works. Margaret

Well Joy, that explains a lot. You always come across as a fair minded and lovely person!! The Salvation Army bring so much comfort and love to those in trouble . My Dad remembers them on stations etc during WW11 and my Mum said they comforted those left behind on platforms after waving sweethearts away to war.

... as an employee of the SA, have to say that rumour is not true. :-) Joy

Don't know if it's true, but the rumour I have heard is that they kick the homeless out of their shelters if they won't convert to Christianity....

sorry!

Have a chat with some of theWW2 veterans and the Homeless in London, Then you may realise where their money has gone to. I just feel that the idle money in the lottery fund could be put to better use. I expect you really feel the same .Hal.I was wrong about the Mag.But they do sell some kind,Meybe Its The "Warcry",Sorry about the mistake, Must be getting "Senile"in my old age, Joke 3.

Debora, I think thats what Hal meant when he said joke number 2. Or Maybe he didn't lol

jehovahs witnesses sell the watch tower

saying that, the band used to play in our street every christmas when I was a kid.. so they HAVE done something for me... woke me up !

Well there we are then.

indeed I haven't

Nice one Paul, Perhaps its because you never bought "The Watchtower" Hal. Joke No.2. Hal.

Well they haven't done anything for me lol (joke)

I heard this morning that the Salvation Army is £10.000.000.00. in the red. When you think of all the good they do and have done in the past,I think its a disgrace when there is all that money lying idle in the Lottery Fund. What do others think of this?. Hal.
