  • Use to live there for 9 years between 1978-1989...those were the good old days!

  • I used to wash dishes there-3

  • hey :) I think you've done a very good job in presenting that room, I liked how you did it.

  • It's Sad

    

  • didn't vote 4 obama. but i applaud what these people r doing. does it offend u ? no one is forced to. socialism is a whole other story.

  • Keep Voting for people like OBAMA and this is where Americans will wind up. If you want to live like this hey go for it . If not the govt should not want to take your money they way they want to . this is a glimpse of socialism folks

  • I visited their place once in about 1977. They slept in bunk beds 5 high-it looked like a barracks at a concentration camp. Their little kids ran around filthy, looking like they'd never had a bath in their lives.

    I hear things are a bit more sane and sanitary now, but they still get all their medical care at free public health clinics & Stroger County Hospital. They claim to be self supporting, but still rely on a government services for their members.

  • But they rely on Government services for health care? Dumbest comment ever! They are Tax payers, you know?!? Are they just supposed to pray when they get sick? Hey kids, sorry your sick but we are self-supporting? What?

    If you have a job don't you go to the Doctor? Like I said..they are Tax Payers.

    Did you actually think the comment over. If you visited way back then then you should be old enough to know better.

    You sound real self-righteous. And no I do not live there.

  • Public health clinics & Stroger Hospital are for the indigent, not the "inconvenienced".

    And while my employer DOES pay for private health care coverage, theirs obviously doesn't.

    Thirdly, who said they are "Tax Payers"? As a not-for-profit, that's highly unlikely. JPUSA real estate holdings (the main source of county health services revenue) are not subject to property taxation by the City of Chicago or Cook County.

    Try to learn facts before you comment, you encrusted twat.

  • haha..."encrusted twat" how colorful. Says a lot about you. Employees and/or residents of non-profits file tax returns.

    do your homework angry misogynist. the encrusted twat! dumb.

  • We never had 5 high bunks. Your memory fails you. Kids get dirty when they play. Ever been responsible for one?

  • @starlasnow

    I think it was 3-high, if memory of the early 90s serves correct :). I know, since I was on the bottom bunk (which was really the floor! )

  • I have wonderful memories of JPUSA from waaaayyyy back in the late 70's. Looks like it's still the same. I may not agree with all their views but they do really good work for people who fall off the track in life. It's not glamourus, but thank God someone's there to do it, and do it with love. More power to you :)

  • Yay JPUSA! :)

    Cornerstone rocks!

  • WTF?

  • Hey. I am considering coming out there.. I'd like to get in contact with you somehow.
