  Funeral experience...

  my uncle died last week so the wife and i went to his funeral a couple of days ago.

  he was a baptist so he actually had a nice funeral and they talked about him and what he like to do.

  the preacher even shared some memories of talking with him on the street of our small town and how happy he was, never complaining about his illness (cancer).. well my 2 brothers and my sister were there (all witnesses).

  I mentioned to my wife on our way home that I hope I wasn't like they were when I was a witness. I don't remember being down on people for their belifs.

  Maybe that's how I was able to get out. I was able to open my mind and see the good in other people.

  Oh yeah, at the viewing they told me my mom who suffering from Alhziemers was telling how when my dad became a witness my uncle called him a Son of a Bitch. She came right out and said it in front of everyone. They said they were so embarrased. I just laughed and told them to give her a break. I mean she litterally losing her mind. Witnesses need to relax a little.

  My wife and I also talked about how the society comes down so hard on education. I was telling her about SickofLies recordings and how they blamed his questions on education. She said she has never heard of a religion being so down on religion. I told her it's their way of keeping people in line. As soon as you start thinking for yourself you see how ridiculous their teachings are.

The preacher even shared some memories of talking with him on the street of our small town and how happy he was, never complaining about his illness (cancer).

  Well my 2 brothers and my sister were there (all witnesses). We were talking before the funeral and they mentioned that the VFW would be giving him a 21 gun salute. I said with great excitement that was a great thing. They all got the funniest look of disgust on their faces. I told them that he deserved a 21 gun salute since he defended our country in the Navy.

  During the service the preacher kept saying how we can only gain salvation through Jesus and no amount of work will save us. He also said the Jesus doesn't care what religion were are as long as we look to him for salvation.

  Well after the service, we were at my mother's house and she ask how the funeral went. (She couldn't make it...illness). My wife and I both said it was nice and that they spoke about my uncle allot. My brother and sister both said it was horrible and that the preacher had no clue what he was talking about. I told them that it doesn't matter what they believe. The funeral was for my aunt and that what my uncle and her believed so they should respect that. I got no response to that. My wife was very proud of me standing up for my uncle's beliefs.

  I just blows my mind how condesending JW's can be of other people beliefs. Even at a family member's funeral.

  I think the reason they ran the article is because Summersville just spent a few million on a new National Guard Armory and convention center and they need to show that they are actually using the convention center for a variety of things. They've held a few gun show there and the Oakridge Boys are coming soon. Man won't that be a wild show.

  On another thought, isn't it a little hypocritical for a religion that says you can have nothing to do with the military to be holding their conventions at a National Guard Armory?

  Comments about SickofLies JC audio tape........

  im not sure whether sickoflies posted his audio file of his recent jc committee meeting and related disfellowshipping on this website or not yet, but if you havent listened to it, i encourage you to do so.

  i know richierich (hang in there bro) is going through a tough time, and sickoflies must be having an equally tough time.

  I too was amazed at the lack of love shown in the JC. I was really suprised when one of the elders started yelling at SOL because he should be at home with his wife instead of at the JC. You could tell these men had no idea of how to backup the Watowers claims.

  I've jsut started listening to the appeal committee and they are also having a hard time backing up the Watchtower's claims.

  Just goes to show how they really don't have God's backing.

  2 older brothers and 1 older sister.

  Sister in still in and very active.

  Oldest brother hasn't gone to a meeting in over 10 years, but still considers self a witness.

  Other brother is studying and the brainwashing is setting in nicely.

  He used to be so fun to talk to about cars and motorcycles. Now he barely talks to me and just tells me that I need to come back to the meetings.
