  As my dear old devout witness momma said as she approached her 90's, having been widowed, given up her own home to become a need is greater and followed the WT society in everything it did and said: " I really wasn't expecting to find myself in this situation at this time in my life".

  Such words ring hollow, when you realize they are written by people who have every physical need taken care of for them, for free, and will continue to have this privilege for as long as they live.
  

  Pretty much in the same vein as "keep warm and well fed brother, and don't forget to contribute money for my personal care and comfort."

  It is financial "one way street" with the org!

  Always taking, but NEVER giving to its members in need!

  How about the watchtower tract society provide for the elderly? The government give them Charity status for tax exemptions and they can't provide for their ageing members?

  Oh come on governing body you need a good spanking.
