    Would you do a Ray Franz deal and write a book or keep quiet and live out the rest of your life in Bethel?

    Would you keep reading the Watchtower magazine?

    I would probably ask Jesus for forgiveness, get to know Him and then rejoice I finally found the real truth before I died.

    At that age most family and friends are gone anyways, so I wouldn't be scared of shunning.

    With those circumstances, I'd say continue to "fake it". I think that's even the wise choice for any elderly JWs that discover TTATT in their advanced years. They have no where else to go to build new relationships at that point in life. The JWs are their entire network.

    I think so Doc, At some point a person has to surrender and bow down in defeat.

    If my livelihood totally relied upon the living conditions made available to me at Bethel HQ, I would regress those doubts and shut up.

    Particularly if it meant me getting tossed out onto the street.

    It pays to keep in mind that thousands of people all over the world are living off the proceeds of the Watchtower Corporation. There are some that have some financial reserves or have immediate family that would take them in but there many one can assume have barely nothing at all.

    If you are 80 and living at Bethel. You don't want to be looking under rocks or behind curtains at that point of the game.

    I don't think at that point in your life you would want to entertain any new ideas or possibilities.

    It would behoove you to delude yourself for the remainder of the voyage.

    Life could be brutal or soon over standing on a street corner begging with a tin cup at 80.

    So for some there is no hope of escaping. So sad but so true.

    It was pretty traumatic for me learning it was all a fraud and I was only in my 40s. I think and 80 old would probably have a heart attack a die. I do know some 70 year olds that figured it out but it was a slow go for them and maybe easier for them to adjust.
