I'm sure the elders will try and get your mom alone, and make sure she leaves any retirement, money, property, and anything else of value to the WBT$. They will discourage her from leaving anything to you kids.
They may even "offer" to "help", like take over her finances......DON'T LET THEM GET INVOLVED!!
Also, here in the states, if you feel like your sister is taking advantage of your mom, you can call the Department of Aging.
Trust me, they can put a stop to it. But then, you don't really want to involve them, unless you have to. But they can help.
You mean she doesn't believe the end will come before she retires?? I'm shocked, what kind of jw is she anyway?

CBD...just to clarify....The only current JW in the mix is my JW sister. My brother was from 1974 until about 1995 or so. The bad behaviour is all coming from the JW sister who expects eveyone else to fund her bad decisions since becoming a JW.
I want to talk to my sisters elders about my sister's bad behaviour, not about my mom.
Typical of JWs to freeload off people while they are slaving for the WT organization and then ask that those same peoople who they've destined for bird food to take care of thier ass during retirement.
My sister sent my two other brothers and myself an email explaining that her unemployment is running out soon and that she has bills to pay, car payment, cell phone etc... (she lives rent free and has her food provided by my mom). The jist of it is that she wants all of us to pay her to look after my mom. Her email seemed to imply that she was there 24/7 waiting hand and foot on my mom. When I broached the subject with my brother (an ex-JW who lives in the area) he reminded me that OUR SISTER IS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS who spends around 30+ hours away from my mom attending meetings, going out service, socializing etc...
In a nutshell: Your sister is a typical lazy Dub who does not (and apparently cannot) hold a full time job down. She's looking for a free ride so she can spend all her time either going to meetings, out in Service or be a part of the Social network. This is what happens to so many Witnesses because the religion itself discourages full time work, and saving for retirement. I've seen this happen so many times it's not even funny. I know one Witness who just got word that she's eligible for a permanent Disability cheque because she has the Witness Disease: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She was thrilled to death and immediately quit her job and put her application in to be a Regular Pioneer.
My sister stated to my brother that our mom shouldn't be driving, and that we should sell my moms car and pay off my sisters car with the proceeds. My brother stated to me that he thinks my JW sister WANTS my mom incapacitated so that she can be her full time caretaker.
Uh-huh. That's it exactly.
"....my JW sister told my brother that she has been counting on my mothers estate for her retirement income. My brother rightfully made it clear to my sister that all money in my mom's estate will go to providing my mom the resources to provide comfort and dignity in her final days whether that is a year or 10 years. My sister looked completely aghast! Then my JW sister asked my brother how she is going to survive retirement and asked my brother if any of the three brothers would provide for my sister in her retirement. My brother said "You decided to be a JW, why should we provide for your retirement?..."
Oh man, that would have been hilarious to see the look on her face. Good for you and your brothers that you told her this!! LMAO! Gosh, maybe she'll actually have to go get a job eh?
You mean she doesn't believe the end will come before she retires?? I'm shocked, what kind of jw is she anyway?
The kind of JW that for the last 32 years treated everyone else in her family with disdain and now wants the same people she treated badly to support her now that Armeggedon hasn't come.
Isn't it sad that her prayers haven't yet been answered and Jehovah hasn't murdered 99.9% of the world's population including her immediate family that she now is looking toward for financial support?
I know a good money making scheme,which because I am on social security I am unable to do,perhaps your sister should contact me.
I have her making money in no time at all!
IS THERE A VERSE FROM THE BIBLE YOU COULD SHOW HER?
Ya....how about "...If a man (or woman) does not want to work, neither should he eat"??
MARY,THAT THE VERSE I WAS LOOKING FOR!
PERHAPS SOMEONE SHOULD PRACTISE WHA THE BIBLE PREACHES.
