Excellent! Well-done!
This article surely gets the truth out about JW's. I certainly hope it gets published.

JWs show up at my dad's surgery.
by Darth Yhwh inheres a little background: my mother is a jw, my father is not, my sister is disfellowshipped and i have faded away.. my father has an abdominal aortic aneurism.
this is a weak spot on the wall of the major artery leading to the lower extremities.
it will balloon out and burst eventually killing him without assistance.

Darth Yhwh-I'm so glad that your father's surgery went well! I hope he has a good recovery.
What a perfectly horrid day you have had. I give you alot of credit for your self control, as that was a very long time to sit and listen to all that garbage. I know I couldn't have done half as well.

Ooooh, the more I think about this the madder I get. It's is mean-spirited to rub salt in the wound. I would write them a letter (and put tracking on it so you know it was delivered) and ask them what kind of religion (and individual) gets a perverse satisfaction in blatant emotional blackmail and cruelty, and tell them how evil it is. Put the wrong motives right back on them. They deserve it for being so heartless. Natural familial feelings are suspended on their part, so don't play into their hands by showing hurt. Sometimes well-placed self-righteous anger is necessary.
JMHO

Oh, how cold! At least, that's how I would take it-like they were trying to rub it in.
But on the other hand, perhaps others here are correct in saying that your parents are trying to balance the JW-think and their natural feelings for their own flesh and blood, because the dubs I know wouldn't even send me a momento like that invitation. They are the type that threw our pictures out once there was any sign of trouble. Not sending them back, mind you, but right into the garbage, as if we never existed.
