First of all, if you are offended by me saying "Another one bites the dust," my apologies.
I just can't think of better words for what happens when some one dies after they have sold their soul to a printing company.
My Uncle Tom passed away yesterday morning in Buffalo NY. He was very ill, confined to a wheelchair for the last 10-15 years of his life. He had MS.
Tom married my Aunt about 18 years ago. Almost immediately he got MS. What a terrible turn of events this was for both of them, as she was about 50 years old when she married him and he was about 40.
She was a good JW girl who was the stereotypical JW sister for her age group. She has been in attendance at every major assembly ever held...Yankee Stadium, etc. Reg. Pio'd for years.
He was Catholic. They worked together and eventually he converted to JW.
Now is the interesting part.
Tom was an Elder, very 'spiritually strong.' My aunt, too. She has been shunning me for some years now, practically hanging up on me when I call, but not rudely. She just says, "You know I can't talk to you. I love you but I love Jehovah more.....
To be continued....
