:8O Are you Kidding? Did someone from the Watchtower actually give these instructions in writing???

Well, it would appear I've been HEARD...by the WTBTS noless! roflol

In vivid verbatim, as to the instructions to those wanting to attend International Conventions:

7) Please do not apply unless you are sure you will be available to go and can financially cover the costs, whether using a travel agency or planning your trip personally. As a reminder, all applicants should be in good health with good mobility and not in need of the assistance of someone else nor dependent on a wheelchair, an auxiliary oxygen supply, or similar health-related devices. [ Just like China, the WTBTS does not want any genetically inferior people dishonoring Jehovah by their presense.]


I know that is how they THINK but I never thought they would put it in writing!!!

My Mom as I have said before had brain cancer and required assistance and a wheelchair near the end but she so wanted to go to the District convention in the last year of her life (2006) so she could get some association and spiritual food. NO was the answer, it would burden the brothers and sisters so no one would take her. I was shocked as I said before. They wouldn't even bring her to the Kingdom Hall for a few hours because it was to much of a burden, their words not mine.

Yes zoe. As I understand it to be. I would post the link where it is from, yet am not sure it is allowed here. It's on Simons forum, if you are so inclined.
