About a year ago at our circuit assembly, the CO said that some brothers were concerned about the high cost of health insurance. He said not to be concerned because shortly we would be in the new system and we would have perfect health.

Funny - I forgot the primary reason I started this thread. I wanted to know when we start Daniel's Prophecy book. Thought it would be a good one to read to my Dad as he wouldn't understand it anyway. Also it will give me an opportunity to circle all the references to 1919.

Thank you Carmel. That is exactly what my husband said, forget the inheritance and go on with my life. The assisted care facility that my daughter put him in is in the territory that we live in, and she expects that I take him to meetings. However, let me add that Dad is age 92, very easily influenced, and forgetful sometimes. I could probably fight it in court on the grounds of undue inflluence. But I don't want to take my own daughter to court so my only recourse is to get over it. It is hard, though, as I am nearing retirement age and will probably have to keep working a long time now.
My father told me that my daughter believed my husband and I had helped one of her brothers financially when he bought his home. She couldn't believe that he had done so well on his own, and she was ticked that we hadn't helped her out when she was getting a divorce. The truth is we never helped her brother, he made it on his own by being smart which she had not done and now she is trying to catch up. Her husband also insinuated to my father that when I was POA that it looked like I may have used some of Dad's funds to help my husband buy a new truck which he wondered how we could afford since my husband is disabled. I told my Dad that couldn't be further from the truth. My father did admit to me that he might have made a mistake but doesn't want to do anything about it now.
Dad only goes to the meeting on Sunday because he is very lame, and can't walk, only transfer. He doesn't even expect to go to the other meetings. This morning when I picked him up, he didn't remember what day it was. Guess I could have gotten out of it, but for some reason took him anyway. I might take him to some more meetings, but not every week. I would much rather visit him daily and read to him.

I don't have time to answer much of this except I did ask my father about the sale and reminded him about all the years that I helped him with my mother who had Alzheimer's. Last week I asked him if I didn't deserve reports and he said, "Yes." Then my daughter went in and had him sign paperwork stating that he didn't need reports.
I was a JW for 40 years and only started fading quietly six years ago. I never questioned his authority or the FDS, but it's now being reported that I was critical. Up until then we had a great relationship. My brother is a JW (pedophile) and one niece. My sons are fading (quietly).

I have a long, long story to tell. It could fill several pages. Right now I'm going to say that I've had it! It looks like I'm being disinherited because I am fading. My loyal JW daughter has taken over as caregiver and doesn't want to give any reports on his finances. I just learned that my father gave her his home and sold his rental property for less than 1/2 of the assessed value to my daughter's inlaws without informing any of the rest of the family, including her uncle, brothers, or cousins. She acts like what she did was perfectly OK, and that I shouldn't be upset. (This is a whole different subject and will get into it more at another time). I found out last week that the problem seemed to stem from a very short remark I made last year after my daughter and son-in-law returned from a district convention and my son-in-law made a comment about how foolish it was that brothers actually sold their homes thinking that Armageddon would come in 1975. I also made a remark about Sodom and Gomorrah and voting. I could tell at the time it didn't set well and I never said anything again. My son-in-law made the comment at the end of our discussion, "Well there is a faithful and discreet slave." I simply nodded my head
However, my Dad seems glad to see my when I go to the assisted living facility to visit him. I'm trying to think of what I can do to keep from alienating him completely. I can't stand sitting for two hours at the KH any more, and came up with the idea of studying with him or him with me for 15 minutes a week. That would be so much easier--or would it? Or I could just limit it to considering the daily text. Would it make sense to use the Require brochure or any other booklet? His eye sight isn't real good, so I could just offer to read to him straight from some publication. When do we start the Daniel's Prophecy book? I don't intend to explain to him why I'm stopping taking him, other than that I am soooo busy with having to work so many hours to make ends meet, which is true.

Hall's "For Sale" sign removed
by observador ina while ago i posted about a kingdom hall in the area that had a for sale sign up.
now, driving by the other day, i noticed that the sign was no longer there.
so, i drove into the parking lot and the meeting schedule sign is still there and "kingdom hall" sign is still up.

What is the deal? There was a for sale sign in front of a KH in our area. The CO had told them the KH didn't meet the standards and that they should try to sell it and build a better one. If they could get enough out of the property, build a new one with volunteer labor, they could get a nicer one and send the difference to headquarters.
