This pedophile situation is so bad that it is finally being made public. If parents or the elderly get caught up, do some research and understand the problems before jumping in too quickly. Aging parents living on their own are especially vulnerable. Jehovah's Witnesses will make friends with them during their door to door visitations. Lonely elders usually welcome J.W.'s.
Friendships develop over the visits.
Often these J.W.'s begin by doing odd jobs for the elderly. If the elderly parent does not have them move in, they still continue their influence in their lives. JW's will lavish lots of attention on the lonely elderly one, patiently studying with them, and taking them out to meetings and the service, and to social gatherings. Often the family is some distance away and has no idea what is going on. Families have reported to us that they unknowingly let their elderly parent fall into the hands of the JW's because it was so convenient to let the JW's look after errands, yard work etc.
