When my parents became ill and had to go into nursing homes, the only ones to visit them were their apostate and disfellowshipped relatives.
None of their "brothers" and "sisters" could be bothered to visit those who were no longer useful to the Society.....besides....they couldn't count the time spent in visiting, so why bother?
My cousin, who is a CO and who presumably had a close relationship with my mother, was informed by me of the seriousness of her condition when she had a stroke and entered the nursing home.
He was SUCH a loving brother and nephew....NOT! He finally wrote back to her through me a year and a half after I wrote to him.....two months after my mother's death. In his letter, he was nice and chatty, and asked her if she was still keeping active in service even though it was probably difficult!!!!
Probably difficult? I had told him that the stroke was so serious that she might not survive at all, and he was concerned that her SERVICE time might slip!
Eighteen months.....no calls....no letters....no cards.....and this was despite numerous attempts on my part asking that the brothers and sisters come visit her........NOTHING.
So much for the "great love amongst the brothers". Once you're no longer of any use as a salesperson, you are discarded.
