Then he told her that in his Hall, a number of elders and mature ones have suddenly disappeared and without notice----stopped going. She said he was very bewildered by it all.
Are they fixin to blame you for this disappearance? Mental Elder, makes sense to me.

Mulan told us,
A few years ago an old JW friend showed up on our doorstep and said "I want to know what you know. You wouldn't have left without knowing something". We were cautious, but ended up telling her quite a lot, and she left too.
You have GOT to respect a person who is that intellectually honest!
Most JWs, probably including Min's old pal, each think that they have superior understanding than their associates. Min's friend should see the rats leaving the ship and think that maybe he should start swimming too.
But will he?
I hope so, for his sake, but it's far more likely he'll conclude that each one of those former elders was in some nefarious way snared by "the serpent." He may resolve, as so many others have, that HE will maintain his integrity to the invisible sock-puppet from Brooklyn.
His "mental problems" will likely continue to plague him as a result of his irrational loyalty.

What's interesting is that he told my mother of all the assistance that he recieved from the "friends" during his difficulties. I believe he can only relate to that experience. He's one of those, "Where else shall we go?" types.

Hi Minimus
I remember those days...they try to get to you through your family or your friends.
If you keep up with the low profile they might eventually leave you alone.
It would be nice if they left your mom alone.

Yeah, my mother is close to 80. She's a regular pioneer on the infirm list and her life has been the "truth".

Seriously, sorry to hear your mom is upset.
