Welcome, what a sad story. And I bet some younger elder told him after you shouldn't ask Jehovah that in a public prayer. -

Thank you my name, for this thread.
It just shows that moving with technology and saving the WT money is more important than the elderly. The WT don't care about them. He obviously felt very stressed not knowing how to use a tablet, it astonishes me how the WT make JWs feel.
I hope he leaves

I'm an 'old folk' at age 68.
Old people have one trait that drives me up the wall.
Well--no, that's a lie. They have MORE than one.
1. They can't just relax and listen to instructions.
2. They are quick to make (false) assumptions. This blocks out everything else.
3. They are quick to limit themselves.
4. They are extremely NEGATIVE about anything outside their wheelhouse.
5. About half of everything they believe is true is totally bogus nonsense, but this doesn't keep them from thinking they know everything.
Whew!
Glad I got that off my chest.
My eldest daughter worked at the Apple Store.
Old people drove her insane. They are grumpy, demanding, rude, silly, and refuse to follow instructions. And those are the easy customers:)
As an older person I can get away with saying all this. . . can't I?

Glad to have you here My Name & a great 1st post!
JeffT so right when you suggest that our natural interest for computers was impeded by wt demonizing the internet & making the 'learning' of it off limits for years! Have to say they had a point tho, cause when I finally dared to get one around 2009 ....guess what ....I learned the TTATT!
Xan "...... very insightful sparrow. First they get rid of all the old literature then they get rid off all the older people who remember the old light."
Yup ....... white washed their own graves!

I am doing fine. His death was rather sudden though.
