3 months, not even a phone call about my late mother from the Dubs.....
by WingCommander inso......it has been 3 months since my mother passed away and not one, not one witness has called, stopped by, or even sent a card to me!
it hit me today.
i mean, i must have gotten like 50 sympathy cards in the mail from her worldly relatives and co-workers, as well as numerous phone calls, but not one witness has done anything!

I am so sorry....
I was 14 when my JW Mom died of cancer. My Dad wasn't a JW. I didn't really get the support needed, but reassured I would see her in the resurrection, IF I remained a JW.
My Dad died when I was 28, he was not a JW. I was treated like he wasn't a PERSON because he wasn't a JW. That crushed me to be treated so horribly by the JW's just because he wasn't a JW, it was as if he didn't count.
It is a huge, thing in life to loose a parent. It feels like part of you is ripped away. All we want is a love and compassion when we grieve.
I am sorry you didn't get it from the source you thought you should have got it from (like me) Rest assured your are in God's thoughts, and even that minister that gives you kind visits. You don't have to join his church, but like me, I am always thankful for the support I get from those I need at the time.
We on this board are also there for you
take care,

so let me get this straight
by 4digitcode ini have been on here for only the past 3 days or so....so i don't really know how it goes.. this is an 'apostate' site right?.
so today i've learned that there is just the ol' regular apostate and an 'active' apostate.. but are there actually active witnesses on this site as well??.
because i just saw a topic about someone asking for advice on how to do a talk?.

Welcome
I was just as afraid as you to read anything here at first.
The common experience of the "lack of love" and then seeing Dateline May 2002 that exposed the pedophile coverup in the WTBS made me "feel" the hypocrisy. The same hypocrisy they preached about the Catholic Church for the 35 years I attended.

Welcome Gregg
It takes a lot of courage to post the first time....Well done!!! It took me almost 6 months to post. The paranoia about being discovered on any supposed anti-Jw website.
Lack of love, and the May 2002 Dateline exposing the pedophile coverup in the WTBS lead me to fade in 2003.

Geez, never knew they had a Kingdom Farm in Lansing.....
When was that bought?
Maybe they have to sell to pay off all the lawsuits pertaining to the pedophile coverups?
