  Paragraph 1 & 2:

  We all enjoy life even now due to Jehovah's tender mercies, for if it were not for his slowness to anger all humans would not have lived into this 21st century of out common era. Even those crippled severly cling to life thus demonstrating the will of humans to live even in adversity. Due to the modern avancements in medical treatment many are living into their 80's and nineties and some with almost no end in sight, and the medical costs to keep these people alive enormous. It's seems now that the generation that overlaps just won't go away for God knows how long which can be extremely crippling to Corporation finances and eventual ruin so God's Chariot Like Organization is responding swiftly to stop the bleeding of assets.

  The Governing Body sincerely regrets that many have had an impatient attitude with reguards the final end of this system of things(and what not). As we all know patients is a virtue that God himselfs has and recomends to us to display at all times, so it would be wrong to conclude that those elderly Bethelites that were laid off due to lack of funds that Jehovah is slow to act in behalf of these elderly ones. Jehovah loves them dearly and is merely testing their faith so as to give a reply to Satan's taunts.

  Add a paragraph if you like.

  Frankie,

  Is this satire? They did not actually write these paragraphs, did they? I have no clue.

  After much prayerful consideration we have made a loving provision that our elderly brothers and sisters may seek help from any Government or private or religious organization that can provide assisted living and or nursing care.

  We are sorry you will have to spend your last days in the shadow of pagan symbols but it's better then a card board box in an alley or the back seat of a JW family members automobile. We will be with you again soon in the New World. Though not those of us who have the heavenly hope.

  Haha, bandontherun. Its a summary (tongue-in-cheek sort of style) of what the WT is really saying when we read between the lines.... :)

  With a little tweaking, this could be a genuine Watchtower article.

  It's satire..............

  That's what they thought when the Governing Body first published the "over-lapping generation nonsense.

  Of course, doing nothing whole life, just giving lectures at the assemblies would not wore out the bodies like the people who need make real living. When you see pictures of these well fed, somewhat obease, aged leaders who have smooth hands like baby because they never work hard in their life, than it is not suprising that they live 85-105 years. They are like aristorcracy in Verstailles before 1789 revolution, where the pioneers and regular witnesses do all the labor. I seen the picture and article of one bethelite this summer who was well over 80 dressed like banker and praised his labor for the organization by giving five to seven lectures per week for past 60 years or so. Even the early apostles and Jesus worked manually, these people are like parasites living in ivory tower from sweat, money, and labors of others.

  Frankie: As we all know patients is a virtue

  Uh, I think you meant "patience." The way you spelled it refers to the people waiting for medical care area and doing so with great patience!

  Para 4

  "Some brothers" felt that Jah-Jireh nursing homes in the UK was a Korah-like going against Jehovah's great chariotlike organization, a distraction from the preaching work that was to end in our 20th Century errr ... our time. However, the faithful and discreet slave's allowing this to be set up by Korah-like brothers and (gasp) sisters without disfellowshipping them proved to be both wise and discreet. Why? Because now we luv the internet and hate MAN printing presses and are kicking to the kerb those poor saps who trusted that we errr ..."some brothers" were right about the generation that saw 1914 not passing away, we have to cover our asses somehow. *

  Q. Para 4 How do "some brothers" cover their asses while "some brothers" did the right thing? (Matt 12:37)

  *foot note: while it is not wrong for some misguided souls to give donations to Jah-Jireh direct, it is preferred that donations are made to the worldwide work where it can be directed to the most needy. (See our brochure on efficient tax giving and bequests and bear in mind that any bequest over $100,000 will be handled and personally thanked for on a shepherding call from loving elders over a latte and cookies. Make it a million bucks and the CO will turn up too!)
