part 2, my dad's death...

OK, Now I'm really pissed, even though I saw this coming. My dad's obituary appeared online tonight. As I expected, my name was left out. I'm seeing red right now and have this overwhelming urge to choke the living shit out of who I used to call my sister. I know enough that her happy little life won't be so happy once this all blows over. I keep reminding myself of the karma I believe in. But revenge is all I see. She is the one that is manipulative and lies, but it has never caught with her.

God, I am sssoooo pissed!

On the flip side, a terrific person on this board helped out with flowers. This blew my JW mom away.I made sure to rub in how great my "apostate" friends were, and how much support I've gotten from them!

thanks to you all

OMG. I have never seen/heard of that.

So, so sorry Shelley. I'd be pissed, too. Heck, I was pissed when my dad changed the order of listing his children to put the boys first, then the girls.

But to be complete left out of an obituary... I don't know the words.

So Sorry...

call the newspaper and have them redo the obit ...

tell them your one of the children and your name was left off, could they please reprint the obit correctly.

sorry all this is happening. they try to diminish us as humans because of the religion and its not right.

We're glad that you're letting us know what's going on. I'm really sorry to hear about all of this. I can't say that I can understand how you feel, but I would say that it is so important to let your feelings out. (by writing in a journal, beating a pillow, etc.) I can relate with feelings of wanting to get back at people, I've been there. Remember, as long as you carry yourself with dignity through this, your behavior will make a positive lasting impact on those who know you and most importantly, your own self-respect.

With love,

Arthur

This was just crass. It was a way to punish you. Yes, keep your dignity. You are more of a human being than the others.

What a truly horrible thing to do!
Candidlynuts had a great suggestion, tell the paper there was a (or in this case website) that there was a printing error and could they please fix it as soon as possible?

Kudos to whoever from here helped with the flowers, that was a beautiful gesture,

I took your suggestion and emailed the paper in texas about the mistake. My dad was from this area, so my daughter is going to take the obituary info to the paper this morning. We are hoping she beats my sister faxing the info up here. I'm going to try and work today. Thanks for all the support.

Oh CBD, that is plain disgusting. She really is takeing the shunning policy to new heights with this one. There seems to be no limit to the depths of cruelty these people can stoop to. I really hope you can get your name on the obit, despite her efforts to keep it out.

love

The local town paper here puts small memorials in from family members. Do they do that in that area. People just put in a picture and a poem or brief description of what was most important to the deceased and then the family members names (you could just put yours and any other family left out).

They do that here too Blondie I was going to suggest the same thing. A big ol picture of dad or dad AND her together with her thoughts. The best defense is a good offense.

When people are ignorant you cant get satisfaction from them. Sister obviously is UberBitch. So much for the policy the JWs have that DFing does NOT break the family ties.
