    They have been promised rescue, redemption and eternal life in paradise! They expected to be taken care of by Jehovah and his organization forever. How terrifying it must have been to be old and frail and have to confront not only profound disappointment but also the realities of life they believed they would not have to confront: death, aloneness, responsibility and meaningless.
