I understand the gravity of all this stuff but the idea about when someone is older and needing after dinner care as a way of revenge goes over my head!
as revenge........... no...... but what happens when the cult they put their faith in dumps them as to much trouble?
it happens..... they get to the point they cant care for themselves.... they are poor without retirement(1975) and have shunned family for years if not decades... the witnesses know they wont be able to attend meetings anymore and if they go to a facility they still cant be connected via phone... so they leave them to the care of the family they shunned at the cults direction. maybe they will visit them while their in service and leave a magazine in the lobby so they dont have to stop their time....... maybe.
the cong i went to was one that would go alot further than most but even they let people go to homes and then visited them rarely. ive even seen it where the sick person STILL refused to associate with someone they have been shunning....... to their own detrement or even death.
personally........ if you shun me.... fine...... but i dont have to put up with your sh**. if you cant eat with me then stay the F*(&^ away. but i understand the brainwashing........ so if they got their heads out of their asses and realized that all that time they spent in the minestry has been wasted.... and all the time the spent isolateing themselves from me and mine.......... was also time wasted....... then i would be happy to be of assistance.
if however they want my assistance.......... yet want to continue shunning me........ i honestly got better things to do... like play with my son whom they have spent almost zero time with. would i refuse to help.... nah id help but i would help on my own terms........ i would see to it they had the help they needed but i wouldnt be there unless they specificly asked to see me. and even then if i was being shunned......... good bye. if my parents wanted me to be their POA and wanted me to respect their wishes about no blood......... i would..... even to their deaths.
why? because no one will force anything upon me against my wishes....... so neither would i do the same to someone else. i have allowed them to build up that wall between us........... but what they dont understand is the wall works both ways.......... they dont associate with me............ but that wall keeps them from associateing with my son........... which is fine by me........ he will be raised to know better than to allow a cult to brainwash him.
