I looked up Monroe's probate figures: Here are the actual numbers:
18 years to settle
over 1 million in probate costs and fees.
400,000.00 owed in bills etc.
100,000.00 left for her heirs.

Recent Talk by CO
by restrangled inmy uncle just informed me that a talk given 2 months ago "obedience or innovation" by the co sent chills up his spine.
this talk is apparently making the rounds delivered by all co's and is part of what seems to be a get in or be shunned renewed effort.
it is the same talk that apparently sent my mom over the edge with me after 30 years out.

The only problem with probate is it tends to eat up the estate in attorneys fees. When I was working with attorneys there was a big meeting we attended about the cases in probate. The probate attorney joked about holding up the cases and actually said the more phone calls from the family the better....they charge in 10 minute increments.
An example of this was Marylin Monroe's estate. At the start it was worth as I remember approximately 100,000.00 when it finally settled (10 years later) there was only a few hundred dollars left.

Think of how much easier it it for them to collect entire estates than the trickling in of $10.00 here or there. My mom has already sent them $100,000.00 that they pay about 6% interest quarterly to her until she dies and then they keep the principal. They have an entire office of specialists that help with investing and estates.
My dad had left a will on his computer which my son had helped him with. After he died my mother had some idiot from the hall come and erase the entire hard drive because it was filled with apostate material. There was no hard copy. In that will was money left for my sons' college education. Of course, because she does not believe in higher education no need to worry about grandkids when the WBTS is so needy.

Mary,
I forgot to mention my father died 6 years ago, an "apostate" in my mother's eyes. I have one younger brother who has nothing to do with the family and another brother who died when he was 20 in a motorcylce accident. So I was all she had left. We live 2 blocks apart.

Mary,
You brought up some good points. Who is taking care of my mom? Right now she is still healthy but when she does get ill, or falls and breaks a hip, I am going to have a hard time deciding what to do.
I did receive a phone message from her stating that the "Living Trust" has been changed. I can only imagine, but I refuse to be bought. No amount of money would be worth tolerating one more minute of this garbage in my life.

I am so glad your son made it. Such a horrible nightmare for any parent. Get yourself a good Personal Injury Attorney. If anyone deserves to be sued, its a drunk driver.
I hope your son recovers quickly.
Best regards,

God had nothing to do with it. You were at the mercy of the world, and the world looked out for you...get over the Jehovah factor. Happens all the time.

I'm tired of hearing it at age 47 raised in this shit. Same message, never changes....that means from 1959, this does not include my parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparent's message......it just never changes.
Sorry, it is so nauseating.

Dear Mary,
I still don't know how to copy a quote, but what you quoted from me has further ramifications. I was asked if I was willing to meet with the elders, and my belief that this is God's inspired organization. I answered no to the first and yes to the second out of a remote response.
It did not seem to make a difference. My mother informed me this was it. It's over.. I've been gone 30 years, we were best friends.
This CO seemed to be able to hold influance over her like no other after his talk. I am 17 years older than the moron and absolutely much more experienced. He has never raised children, probably never had a job that required thinking, and now has the nerve to tell my 74 year old mother I am no good. My anger level is over the top. My mother even stated to me that she told him,"I was all she had after losing her husband and son." He stated too bad, nothing has worked to get her (me) back in, you now need to follow the rules"...no innovation.
She let me go.
I am now beyond angry over this due to my taking care of my parents. I will not go into this here but the Bullshit Society demands adherence no matter what. I am just waiting to hear that my father's savings and hard work were all given to the Society.
