  watchtowers army assault on our vulnerable elderly in nursing homes

  by friendaroonie in

  its been a long time since i have been this enraged at the evilness and shameless exploitation by the jws.

  i just got back from the meeting (dont ask) and sat through the km article laying out plans to mass convert nursing homes all over the world.

  i am not going to labor the obvious ethical travesty of this plan but i will say that it constitutes a major public health risk.

  I feel it is worth warning homes, though, in case the jw's are well prepared and convincing. Don't know why I bother really..

  Oh, and you may want to change 'elderly in our area' to 'the elderly and vulnerable in our local care homes'.

  Post here if you get any response?

  Protect the elderly

  this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

  well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

  the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

  A quick google search will tell you where your nearest care homes are.. Please consider doing this.

  [ROUGH template for a letter or email, suggestions/additions welcome..]
  
  For the attention of the director of this establishment:
  
  
  Out of concern for the welfare of the elderly in our area, I just wanted to inform you of an upcoming campaign, in which Jehovahs Witnesses will be meeting with you to arrange a group Bible discussion in your (nursing home or regional variation). They will try to tell you that this is merely a discussion and not a religious service, but questions and debates will not be allowed, and they will attempt to get the person on their own to answer questions.
  
  They will not be merely reading from the Bible to your elderly ones and allowing them to talk about different understandings of the text, which could be a fine way to encourage actual discussion, the Witnesses will use one of their publications, which ultimately focus on guilt, control, and what we need to do in order not to be destroyed by God.
  
  They teach that anyone who refuses to change their beliefs and fails to join their group will be killed at Armageddon (although they will avoid this if questioned), due to happen any day now, which instills fear in people to obey or face death for disobedience.
  
  They instruct even family members to have nothing to do with those who leave the group due to simply disagreeing with a teaching, and not to speak to them unless they absolutely have to.
  Also, denying even life-saving blood transfusions is taught to be compulsory to join the group and avoid destruction by God, even in the case of children.
  
  While I of course respect everyones right to choose their own religious beliefs, and your right to decide what is best for the elderly in your care, please think carefully before allowing the Jehovahs Witnesses to form what is, underneath the veneer of a 'discussion', a regular preaching and disciple-making activity in your home.
  These people are not as harmless as they seem, their goal is not to talk about the Bible, it is to draw potential converts in with promises of a paradise world, just as long as you agree with their doctrines and join their organisation. Otherwise you will be destroyed.
  
  This theme is repeated often, though subtly and in a way that is difficult to see at first, throughout their publications.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to read this.
  If you would like any further information, feel free to contact me at: **** or take a quick look at any of the following websites..

  Yours sincerely,

  At our midweek meeting, the service overseer told us he had made a list of every home in our territories, and would be contacting them all shortly. Expect to see your elderly relatives being read to from the Bible book of horror stories, then taken back to their rooms for private discussions of doctrine, very soon. Don't say you weren't warned.

  LV101: "I hope nursing homes are warned."...

  Hope is free, take as much as you want. Seeing as you clearly do care, why not just write a short email or letter to a nearby home, to warn the manager? It can't do any harm, and it would be a lot more productive than posting 'I hope' on a message board.

  I tried this myself mate, you're trying at least. Most on this site would rather leave the 'low hanging fruit' to be picked off, keep fighting if you have the will to..

  Paragraph 1 of the KM: "Although perhaps limited in mobility or memory, elderly ones and others who live in nursing homesmay still be able to learn about, appreciate and come to love Jehovah"

  Think about that. I'm done here.
