My Father has just past away

caliber

Yes my father has passed on Sunday.... all my family brothers, sister, in-laws are JWs . It is occasions like this that

make me see why I and countless others are just faders .. not taking that bold step of disassociation . There is

was a sense of peace and bonding ( inborn family bond) with my mother brothers and sisters which the WT....

ruling could take away from me should I speak out too boldly.. I can not lose this connection least while my

mother is alive...true and natural family love runs very deep !

We gathered at mom s house it was still a wonderful connection with my family and past love and closeness

The love is still there it's just buried under the religious hold that is present !

moved with mixed feelings of love , pain and hurt

I'm so sorry for your loss, caliber. And I understand 100% what you are talking about because I feel this way, too, and totally understand the mix of feelings of which you speak.

Amazing

Caliber,

Sorry for your loss ... it is good that you still sense the family love in spite of the religion. I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Thanks to all who have posted above me here who have given me a word of encouragement.

We all need that human understanding , touch and sense of belonging. I guess I am a more emotional

right now with the death of my father but may I please confess right now that while I find a measure

of companionship and understanding on JWS... this disconnect that I feel with my family whom I do deeply in my

heart love anyway I also feel here because I still believe in an almighty God but realize that the vast majority do not !

I'm not trying to create some sort of guilt trip ...just telling you my true heartfelt feelings.... It seems that at this moment

I have a need to share this thought ... sorry !!!

with a sense of inward loneliness
