theyre trying to make me be the POA for a sister in my hall
im 22f today at the meeting this sister comes up to me (shes like 65ish) so casually and says "would you like to be my power of attorney? mine is almost 70 who knows how much time we have left" and i am just so weirded out that out of anyone she could have asked she asked me. in my head im thinking "yeah absolutely not" but i said to her "i'll let you know" with the full intention of telling her no whenever i saw her next bc this is ridiculous and im not about to be in charge of this lady's medical decisions for the rest of her life.
i told my family because i thought they'd feel the same way but apparently they do not think this is ridiculous. they were like "um what's the problem" and i told them i didn't think it was my place to be in that position for her. we're not close at all i dont even know what her house looks like i cant imagine 20 years from now some hospital calling me about her when i havent seen her in years and potentially live hundreds of miles away.
my mom said "wouldnt you be my POA if i asked you to?" and i was like "that is different youre my mother" and she said "she's your sister its not different. we're supposed to die for each other. she has no family in the truth how would you feel if no one stepped up for you in that situation. you won't be alone in this assignment you have the elders and you have jehovah. trust in jehovah"
so annoying how i literally have no fucking say. no one cares what i think. the decision basically been made for me. if i say no i don't trust jehovah and i want this lady to die. i literally can't say no i have no choice
