Reminds me of my families own set of hard times. The year: 1999. Family of JW's for 20+ years, good standing. My father develops an aggressive form of cancer. My mother works full time as an RN, AND goes to all meetings and some field service. Father needed surgery right away, treatment, etc. My mom stayed home more to care for my father. After a while, when she did show up to meetings she asked an Elduh for some sort of help, anything. Elduh's response? "We are not a charity. You need to pray more, attend all the meetings, and be more active in the field ministry." My mom came home from that meeting in state of utter shock and despair. She was doing EVERYTHING and then some, and was exhausted. What did she get from the JW's? A guilt trip about not doing enough. A few months later, the portly rotund PO Elduh had to have heart by-pass surgery. My mother happened to be at the Sunday meeting where an actual announcement was made from the stage about the PO's condition and that they were asking for meals to be made or gift cards to restaurants could be given so that the PO's wife didn't have to cook. She was a stay-at-home wife who didn't even work!!!!! My mom was again floored. This was the red-flag wake-up call that the JW's were hypocritical, useless, self-absorbed CULT. She never recovered from her treatment and being treated like a 2nd class citizen, all the while others in the hierarchy got treated like royalty. It led her to ask me about what I was reading online, and she actually ordered Ray Franz's books online first, and then gave them to me!!!!!
JW's: Shooting themselves in the foot for over 130+ years! Too stupid to know what charity and hypocrisy are, yet actively go out and attempt to recruit suckers while their members are dying along the roadside.
I had a taste of more "JW Christian Love", while my mother was on her death bed. The final straw for me.
