Elderly and disabled JWs always remind me of the character Boxer from the book Animal Farm.
"His death shows how far the pigs are willing to go — when he collapses from overwork, the pigs say they have sent him to a veterinarian, when they sent him to the knacker's yard to be slaughtered, in exchange for money to buy a case of whiskey for the pigs. A strong and loyal draft horse, Boxer played a huge part in keeping the Farm together prior to his death, and was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_(Animal_Farm)
