Brooklyn news on sending the elderly packing

by I am a Bible Student in

johnny the bethelite on this program talks about the older bethelites being targeted by watchtower.they are getting rid of those at bethel who are 65-87 years old, some being anointed even the widows of former governing body members who gave decades of loyal service time to the watchtower organization.. the reasons the very elderly are being expelled are money in that for their age range they cost so much to cloth, fed, and medicate, having problems from high blood pressure to dementia.

they include persons such as sister henschel whose husband had been a watchtower president and marian sydlik whose parents are long dead.. https://soundcloud.com/rick-fearon/jan-16-2016-johnny-the-bethelite-watchtower-insider-host-his-radio-program-from-brooklyn-ny .

Gone are the days of putting together a presentation with two or three Scriptures . . .

A pamphlet surely would ease my way after getting mugged. I don't have a smart phone to lose, so I cannot relate.

dear fellow posters and friends:.

a friend had been making excellent recovery after hospitalization and rehab.

then, some 6 weeks later, while an infection set in, he had to return to hospital.

Thanks, dear friends, for excellent but disturbing information on what can (and often does) go wrong.

Your good thoughts and wishes mean so much. As ad hoc caregiver, I had to call in the troupes (various medical personnel) for immediate emergency assistance.

Will keep you posted. He's about to be moved from our local hospital to the hospital where the original surgery was performed.

Love,

Thank you, Muddy Waters, for your reply. What you wrote sounds familiar.

Dear Fellow Posters and Friends:

A friend had been making excellent recovery after hospitalization and rehab. Then, some 6 weeks later, while an infection set in, he had to return to hospital. He is in excruciating pain and now on morphine.

I don't wish to give a lot of detail here, but was wondering if you or yours have ever had what appeared to be a good recovery, only to be followed by an unexpected reversal of progress and consequent decline.

THANKS!

Returning

by Doubtfully Yours in

i was a member of this community a long time ago and have lurked for years.

well, i am back and still thoroughly conflicted, with my heart/loyalties as divided as ever.

please welcome me back, hear me out, and make me feel as welcomed as before.. the wtbts has changed so very much in recent years that i feel trapped in a completely different religion altogether.

Just to add, for those who may have been the spiritual guide to certain JWs: there's a sense of abandonment on both sides. Very difficult to cope with. Guilt, frustration, anger . . .

Welcome back, Doubtfully Yours:

You, certainly, are in good company. Many of us remain conflicted because we want to stay close to beloved JW kith and kin. Fortunately, a few of my friends and family have quit the org. We can talk freely amongst ourselves, but put an ardent JW into the mix and a genial conversation goes amok.

Please stay on board. You'll get replies . . .

Best.

Are the 2015 Belgium Concert for Delegates and Kingdom Hall Cowboy Footloose Videos on Youtube for real?

Years ago the Society implied that the Lindy, with its measured steps, was an acceptable dance for couples.

Well, as I recall, my inference was that its restraint made it all right for Christians. The clip of this dance is restraint personified. You be the judge.
