A $7million assisted living facility for aging JW ministers? (page 4)

EndofMysteries

So anyway if this board of directors has left a trail to higher ups and GB, this is something that should really be dissected and put together. What will active JW's think when they see the faithful and discreet slave who tells them not to save for retirement and how close the end is involved in retirement businesses and assissted living facilities that only JW's who ignored their counsel and got rich will be able to afford?

More information on Dale Baker.......... http://jwemployees.bravehost.com/NewsReports/2016.html

Local multi-millionaire, Leroy Dale Baker, was the founding incorporator of the Wyoming Congregation, and at one of the zoning hearings, Dale Baker's son, Barry Baker, stated that he was a member of the Cascade Congregation. Leroy Dale Baker made his millions as the founder of Grand Rapids' "Dale Baker Automotive Group" . A subsidiary, Circuit Leasing, Inc. , once leased automobiles to the WatchTower Society for its 500 or more traveling "Overseers" assigned throughout the United States -- until Baker eventually sold out his auto business operations. Barry Baker was the Manager of Circuit Leasing, Inc . (Thereafter, the WatchTower Society cut out the middleman and formed its own "Circuit Vehicles" auto leasing subsidiary, which allows this subsidiary company to purchase vehicles directly from auto manufacturers and lease such back to the main corporation.) L. Dale Baker is also a founding Trustee of JAH-JIREH HOMES OF AMERICA , which is a Jehovah's Witness owned, operated, and occupied retirement community located near Allentown, Pennsylvania. Dale Baker is also the father-in-law of Judah B. Schroeder, who is a former WatchTower Society Attorney and the son of deceased WatchTower Governing Body member, Albert D. Schroeder.

Well, Long Term Care Facilities are necessary. They also need to make a profit, otherwise, they will fail and the residents will have to seek care elsewhere. It's good that such facilities exist because some elderly ones feel unconfortable in Homes that feature holidays that are not practiced by JW's. The pricing $3,000. per month is about average for this type of arrangement.

In Canada the JW LTC's can't discriminate and only accept JW's. This would be discriminatory, and would violate goverment legislation.

The big attraction is there is no swearing like you would get in a Worldly care home which is not gauranteed due to illness but the the biggest perk of all is you get taken to the meetings or the meeting is piped into your room now that's not all there's more the memorial is brought to you so it's well attended problem is hardly anyone can remember what its for and can't understand why they are not getting any supper.

The implications of being a resident in such a facility are intriguing. Can residents be kicked out for apostasy or philandering or not marking their Watchtowers?? Imagine the headlines: "Octogenerian Homeless After Defying Witness Elders!"or "Elderly JW Same-Sex Couple Kicked Out After Coming Out". Just wondering....

Chris Weining from the board of directors was (is?) the long-time caretaker of an assembly hall. He and his wife lived in a house on the property.

The official document the organization provided to the IRS states the all residents must "be in good standing with the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses." This opens an interesting discussion as to how this provides "communitybenefit," which is a requirement to maintain NFP status.

Old people get pretty cranky - I wonder what happens if a old codger crosses the line and gets reproved.

As a side note the IRS document states the organization was established 12/3/2010. Not sure if that bit of information is valuable, but it is what it is.

BTW, this is a great business model - I wonder if we should create an assisted living home for apostates. I am sure it will be much more fun.

I am confused.

On the one hand,

- if the memory care facility is actually helping them keep and perhaps restore their memories, it certainly cannot be associated with the Watchtower Society in any way. After all, the Watchtower has done an admirable job of revising history [ memory fogging ] with their slight of hand articles. It is in their best interest to deplete as many minds as possible of any clear memory of the Watchtowers past.

On the other hand,

- if the Watchtower, or its agents, is somehow just caring for those who have lost their memory, without any effort or consideration of restoring the memory, then they may be in someway connected to this facility.

Hey New York, you are right about that Apostate Care Facility being more fun.
