It can be if you know how to live right.

11. How can we show that we treasure those who live in adult care facilities?

11 How can we show honor to older ones who live in adult care facilities? Elders can include them in congregation activities to the extent possible. We can show personal attention by visiting them or inviting them to a video chat. We want to give special attention to older ones who may be living in a facility far from their home congregation. If we are not attentive, we could overlook these older ones. Some of them may not find it easy or think it appropriate to talk about themselves. But we will benefit greatly when we take the time to draw them out and listen as they tell about the joys they have experienced in Jehovah’s organization.

AKA; The Steinster.

12. What can we find in our own congregation?

12 We may be surprised to find that there are outstanding examples of faithful older ones in our own congregation. A sister named Harriette served Jehovah faithfully for decades in her home congregation in New Jersey, U.S.A. Then she moved away to live with her daughter. Brothers in her new congregation took the time to get to know her, and they discovered a treasure. She encouraged them with accounts of field service when she first learned the truth in the 1920’s. Back then, she always carried a toothbrush with her when she went preaching—in case she got arrested. In fact, twice in 1933 she spent a week in jail. During such times, her non-Witness, supportive husband cared for their three young children. Certainly, faithful older ones like Harriette deserve to be treasured!

13. What have we learned about the place that older ones occupy in Jehovah’s arrangement?

13 Our older brothers and sisters have an important role in Jehovah’s arrangement. They have seen how Jehovah has in many different ways blessed his organization and them personally. They have learned important lessons from mistakes they have made. View them as a “fountain of wisdom,” and draw on their experience. (Prov. 18:4) If you take the time to get to know them, your faith can be strengthened and you will learn a thing or two!

Mine's been nearly pure white since I was 30.

You must be magnificent!

Just as Elisha benefited from being with Elijah, brothers and sisters can benefit from experiences recounted by ones who have long served Jehovah (See paragraphs 14-15)

14. What does Deuteronomy 32:7 encourage younger ones to do?

14 Take the initiative to talk with older ones. (Read Deuteronomy 32:7.) True, their eyesight may have dimmed, their pace may have slowed, and their speech may have softened, but they are young at heart, and they have made “a good name” with Jehovah. (Eccl. 7:1) Remember why Jehovah treasures them. Continue to show them honor. Be like Elisha. He insisted on staying close to Elijah on their last day together. Three times Elisha declared: “I will not leave you.”—2 Ki. 2:2, 4, 6.

15. What questions might we ask older ones?

15 Show genuine interest in older ones by kindly drawing them out. (Prov. 1:5; 20:5; 1 Tim. 5:1, 2) Ask such questions as these: “When you were younger, what convinced you that you had found the truth?” “How have your experiences drawn you closer to Jehovah?” “What have you found to be the secret to remaining happy in Jehovah’s service?” (1 Tim. 6:6-8) Then listen as they tell their story.

16. How can talking with each other benefit both an older one and a younger one?

16 When an older one and a younger one talk with each other, both benefit. (Rom. 1:12) You younger ones will enrich your appreciation for the way Jehovah cares for his faithful servants, and the older one will feel dignified. He will enjoy recounting to you how he has received Jehovah’s blessings

Would you fuk off already with your cult trash? Oh how I miss the days when you were hated on here.

You like this though right?
Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is wicked; cling to what is good. 10In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor to one another, take the lead. 11Be industrious, not lazy. Be aglow with the spirit. Slave for Jehovah. 12Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer. 13 Share with the holy ones according to their needs. Follow the course of hospitality. 14Keep on blessing those who persecute; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. 16Have the same attitude toward others as toward yourselves; do not set your mind on lofty things, but be led along with the lowly things. Do not become wise in your own eyes. Ro12:9

You worship a false god. Jesus is the God of the Jęws. You call Jesus a man.

You are the hypocrite.

You are going to Hell and dragging people with you.

So you don't like this either?
;For the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin. Ro6:5

Rev 9:6
And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.

As you have judged you yourself are judged.

He once was a man for 33 years, where is he now?

18. What will we consider in the next article?

18 The congregation grows stronger not only when younger ones treasure older ones but also when older ones value younger ones. In our next article, we will discuss how older ones can show that they treasure younger ones in the congregation.

HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER?

Why does Jehovah view faithful older ones as precious treasures?

How can younger ones benefit from getting to know older ones?
