    I must be very late learning these even existed but my parents in law seem to be considering going into a JW care home. I haven't been inside a KH for years and the thought makes me sick so I have tried to put everything JW out of mind and somehow I missed that there were official JW old people's homes. I've looked up on their website and these really do seem to be official -they seem to have been open in England for 17 years. They kept that quiet when I was going!

    My father in law has been approached to become a Jah-Jireh associate which seems to be sort of fund raiser, spreading the word and getting donations of course. If you go into one you have to be "in good standing" - can you imagine what would happen if you are 85, get DF'd becauseyou have p****d off a half wit elder ...but you have given them your house to pay for the care homes and then they kick you out?

    I just can't believe that they can panic everyone that Armageddon is coming and make sure that no-one has any plans for the future and then when it looks a bit, ok, a lot dodgy, as far as impending world destruction is concerned they can suddenly need donations for these homes. i take it Armageddon just isn't that close!

    is it me or is this just the most greedy, sick-making idea they have had for years?

    tanzania---- Welcome!!

    I agree it's a part of the whole package of greedy, sick-making ideas----sick money-making ideas that come part and parcel with trying to make sure a corporation branches out in enough directions to keep their books afloat--tax incentives, and own self-preservation and all.

    Welcome to the boards.

    I have never heard of these facilities, but the website shows they have been there.

    It is probably private enterprise doing this, so I am not totally disgusted.

    If cult-members think they are helping older cult-members, they think they are
    doing a great service. I can imagine the old folks who thought they could cut
    down on the meetings in their last years, but son or daughter takes them here.
    Poor folks.
