Jehovah’s seem to be trying to get my 85 year old father into their cult

If the money issue is resolved and they still come around and your father enjoys it, let it continue. Taking pleasure away from the elderly in an attempt to help, do good or protect them happens all to frequently.  Don't go behind his back, think of how you would feel if your child did that to you.

Thank you!
I really don't like sharing such personal information in a public forum. That isn't MY personal information to share that is.   But I'm anonymous & so is my dad.  And it's been a big help.  Plus while this story hopfully  won't end unhappily.  I think stories like these need to be made available to others.  

My dad seemed to like the links I sent him and said not to worry.  So apparently he senses my concern. 

I doubt I'll stop worrying until they go away for good.   Knowing what their intent is.  I don't know weather I could say in good faith it's ok for it to continue.  But ultimatelly it's my dad's choice. 

 I suggested he tell them his being a physician, their sanctioning letting people die from neglect.  Is a deal breaker for him.  And see if they keep coming back around after he says that.  If that's not enough hit them with the info in the links with all the contradictions,  failed predictions.  Utter hypocrisy expecting literal interpretation of their teachings when they have all the documented failed predictions and inconsistencies.  All the other bizarrely unreasonable requirements of followers.
