    Mark palo < [email protected]> has given me permission to pass this on. I think what the WTS did about notifying relatives is deplorable!!!!!!

    Today I received some sad news. My Aunt Miriam Sumen died at the age of 82. She was a sweet woman and believed in God very much. In fact she devoted her entire life to what she thought was Gods servcie. She never married and instead spent her entire lifetime as a Missionary of the Jehovahs Witnesses in the country of Chile. Her command of Spanish was excellent. What saddens me even more is that she spent all this time devoted to a lie. What a waste. I pray that her goodness and faith in what was right will allow for the compensation of Grace. When I left the Borg 10 years ago she tried to talk me out of it, but there was no way I could serve the machine anymore. She could just not see the forest for the trees. Mark Palo

    By the way it took the Society 7 days to notify anyone in the family. She was dead and buried before anyone knew. Typical Witness style.

    Mark also said that her story appeared one one of the magazines ....

    Jan, that is really terrible. It is awful they didn't tell the family and give them a chance to attend the funeral. I am so glad I got out when I did and thankyou for everything you have done for me and my children. I guess I should not be suprised to read about Mark really after the way the Elders treated me when my husband did what he did to us.

    How really sad, and they call themselves christians. Calling on strangers to tell them of the the good news, just a showey display, there is no love or a sympathy in this rotten org.

    Thanks for showing us this one. I guess the JWs couldn't possibly risk an "unchristian" funeral, could they? Could it have had anything to do with the Borg using funerals and the fear of death to make its drones even more realiant on them?

    Sorry this happened to you Mark.
