a jobo i know has cancer.
her son goes and cleans her house and generally cares for her.
so does another non-jobo relative.. the congregation, interestingly, has shown very little support apart from the odd one rabbiting on about 'bible promises this and that'.. so, the co visited and said, 'but your son is an apostate(tm).
Family business. PERIOD
i was just told that my end of life directive should list an elder I hardly know over pimo and df children.
As for the congregation arranging help; even the well meaning are not competent always. Some talk endlessly, want to read or watch videos for encouragement, try home remedies, and have no idea how vulnerable to injury frail people are. Things like helping them up by pulling on an arm.
when i was affiliated with the witnesses, there were barely 6,000 who profess to be of the anointed remnant.
i recently read somewhere that today there are over 20,000 who profess to be anointed.
that figure may be more when you consider those who meet and partake privately for fear of the stigma of claiming to be anointed.
Ever
More to keep divisions from the congregation. The society has a set structure ( be it flawed) that breaks down with this sort of thing.
You apparently have never met any of these fruitcakes. They see visions, speak in tongues, all sorts of things that make even we skeptics flinch
They just had a special video at midweek where dad turned off the tv. So a lot are not watching

sigh... all those jw's hammering and bragging about the nr1 and nr2 position and attacking people that disagree... they are so loving.
Is there an ignore feature on here?

We used to have them. Specialer in a different way than the GB. They would get together snd talk about going to heaven and what it would be like. Some recruited. I think one woman was having visions.
One of the yoyos approached an old "real" annointed to shake her hand and be special. She shut him right down.
Going on the tenuous assumption the annointed story is correct, the WT is right to squelch these.
Of course we do have a " real" one whose big brother is going to teach him how to ride a horse and kill people

All on the tablet. Any extra references are downloaded for you complete with weaselly revisions. At times the downloaded meeting part will not open until you get a new revision
Songs are projected on the monitors, I am waiting for the bouncing ball
There are limited hard copies for holdouts

Most printed and then stored until trashed.
Not most read
And certainly not the thinkingestestest
several of the jws i know have recently graduated/incorporated wifi sensitivity into their (self) diagnosis of chemical sensitivity.
they seem to be particularly terrified of the new 5g, with some even believing that it's the new 5g that's causing coronavirus in china.
the fact that even though they maybe able to turn off their own wifi but will still have all the other wifi signals around them doesn't seem to occur to these jws.
Incognito
The analogy works as well as any. I may have to miss meeting now that I have learned this, thanks
Wont an aluminum foil hat help? Should be a reasonable style to not offend anyone.

Showing the face. I like that.
I am sure there are others, but no way to feel them out. I get stern looks and kickback when i mention how 65 years ago we were in the last minutes too.
Is the no records an european thing? So far in the US I havent heard it
