I'm just curious if the org really wants the elderly ones shunning their faded children. Who will the work fall onto in shuttling them to medical appointments, care of the home, final housing? They'd better think this through!

When I went to a few meetings this past winter, two elders told me, "Call us if you need anything." Neither gave me their phone number! They seemed shallow and insincere.
Sister Pushy and and Sister Biddy knew what apartment complex I was living in, but not which building. Still, they had my cell number. No one has called me to get my address and see why I stopped coming to meetings. The elders could've asked Sister Pushy for my number to follow up, but haven't. Not that I'm complaining! 😁

Wife having lunch with her nosey Mother.
by Darkknight757 inso my wife is really nervous about having lunch with her mother today.
she is an über-dub who is always asking probing questions as to our spirituality.
i think she knows that we are fading out.

My mom was increasingly aggressive and pushy in her questioning, so I finally stated, " Spiritual matters should be left between me and God, where they belong."
She sniffled but dropped it. I could hear her blowing her nose, and I felt badly about it, but things have been better.

" you will never grow old..."

My mom is eighty one now. She's had some small strokes. She recently said, "I'll probably just have a big one some night and die in my sleep." She sounded bitter. Dad is gone, Grandparents all gone, aunt and uncle gone, most of her friends gone, but she still goes to meetings and tries to drag me back.
I retired at 56 from that career I'd never have, because the end was coming in 1975. That meant I couldn't go to college either, even tho my non JW grandfather offered to pay for it. Now, on Facebook I see a high school buddy is about to retire from her law practice. That's what I wanted to do, become an attorney. But no, the end was SO close.
Mom just told me, the way things are going in the world, it can't be long now. Then my dad will be resurrected! Um, yeah. I don't have it in me to crush her only hope that keeps her going, nor can I encourage it.

Contempt of court, case in San Diego county really disgusts me!
by Crazyguy inthis case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.
this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!
this case shows thier evil plain and simple.

Study article: "Go, and Make Disciples.." is a hot mess
by Sanchy inso i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").
the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.
the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".

Perry, I'm so sorry about the accidental red arrow. I loved the clear logic in your post.
Their hypocrisy stinks to the heavens!

What Cofty said. When these standards are applied to future cases, and to appeals of previous cases, a pattern will emerge of negligence, and of just not giving a rat's fanny. That will be enormously expensive. 😁
