My mother wouldn't even attend my grandfather's funeral because it was being held in a church...now that is sad....her own father. I was very young but I remember her telling me that it was a conscience matter and that she just wouldn't go into another church.
I, too, am sorry for your loss.
Yep, about par for a witness.
Sorry for your loss. Your loved one deserves more respect than that, but remember that she is completely ignorant of how her actions aggravate you.
They are social misfits.
Try not to let it get you too down. It's an affliction that she has, and needs to get rid of it.
If you see her again you should ask her if she would stand when a judge came in to chambers; if she didn't, she'd be thrown out of the court at best.
"to those who demand honor, give honor". I guess they don't honor anyone, even in death.
She probably felt really weird about being in a church, like she wasn't supposed to be there or something, so to not piss of Jehovah about it she had to be disagreeable about everything. Plus there's the whole smug thing going on.
I am sorry for your loss. And yes it was disrespectful but unfortunately typical JW behavior.
thanks for your reply's and thanks for listening I, as you have probably gathered am not jw so can not help with questions about them, am only learning about it cause sis in law is becoming one and just want to know how else it will effect the family thanks again
Your right she showed disrespect to your grandfather, his family, his friends and you. One thing dubs are not taught is about respect for others and their beliefs. They show no love to anyone but their own and even that is questionable.
Unfortunatley whilst I was a dub I lost my mother and most of her family so I had to attend many funerals of the Catholic flavour. I can only say that that person has probably never lost anyone close to them. I can guarantee you when it is someone close you dont care about showing off how right you are and how wrong someone else is and be disrespectful. The funeral means more when it is a close person. It brings some closure and many other things. She was there obviously to make a point and nothing more. The point she made was what a disrespectful person she is and that her choice of religion is false and all about putting on a show. It has nothing to do with love!
