FEDUPJW:
Yes, I understand. But, far too many other Witnesses cling to erroneous beliefs..There are too many urban legends, misinformation and nonsense stories about a pile of money being dropped on needy JWs. So an assumption that somebody is going to care for somebody else’s aged parents is just one more thing added to the list.
The religion is totally wrong for telling people all along that they should have no association with relatives who are not in the JW religion. (I remember being told this in the beginning.)
So, you have far too many extreme Witnesses who alienated themselves from their flesh and blood families. There ends up being hard feelings and real hatred. I have heard of some stories!
How, then, is a Witness in later life supposed to undo decades of alienation and hard feelings created towards their families not in the religion? Some families maybe don’t WANT anything to do with the Witness.
Too bad for any haughty Witnesses who treated their non-JW families like garbage. They erroneously imagined they’d never need them and people in the hall would take care of them! ..And shame on any JWs who helped to promote such fallacies to other people in the hall..This also goes DOUBLE to any JW who started studies with people with serious issues in recent years and told them ‘they would be taken care of’. By who? I might add…Another lie added to the list of urban legends.
