  Went to a JW "funeral" on Saturday

  by Dorktacular in

  2. friends

  my brother called me late on the 13th to let me know that a friend of ours - who is no longer a jw - called him and said that his dad was being flown by helicopter to the hospital because he collapsed at home and had no pulse.

  they took my friend's dad off life support on valentine's day and he died.

  well, i was debating whether or not to go to the funeral because i have no desire to hang around a bunch of jws or set foot in a kindumb hall again.

  Good for you for going. I know how hard it is to set foot in a KH after you've left, and it was very good of you to stay as long as you did afterwards to be there for your friend. I'm sure your presence gave him alot of comfort and strength. Not only did he have to deal with his father dying, but he had to endure being made to feel 2" tall by that outrageous "talk". That "brother" should have been spoken to afterwards about his apalling behaviour!

  I'm going to soon have to go to a KH for my uncle's funeral. I swore I would never go to a KH again, but after my last visit with him, I will go. Not looking forward to that either, he's hard core JW and I can just imagine what the "talk" will be all about - his service to Jehovah, his stand for no blood etc. I don't think I'll hear much personal about his life. *sigh*

  The Slave is sooo concerned about Great Crowd

  by senora in

  so yesterday i bump into a jw i knew since i was a little girl.

  so she says to me... at our last local needs the brother said that the faithful slave is soooo worried about the great crowd... so i was like why?

  and she says.... because the great crowd is so diisobedient, they just don't listen and the great tribulation is upon us and they are worried about how the gc is going to make it if they are so disobedient.. i felt like screaming.. did they ever think for a second that the gc is sick and tired of them making all of these crazy demands on people's lives who are adults and but yet not allowed to make decisions for themselves or think for themselves?

  I guess they see that they are loosing control and that's what they are really worried about. The GC is just not putting up with the FS's crap anymore.

  I love hearing stuff like this! Thanks for sharing and welcome to JWD!

  Bee, remember when you and I spent the night at Lenny and Karen's and we were up late talking? We had quite a bit to drink and opened up about life and loves. You busted out laughing when I told you about a guy who was sobbing because he couldn't get an erection. I can't ever think about him now w/o remembering you laughing about him...good times!

  That will be a night I'll never forget! I can't wait until we can do it again. Your friendship and support means alot to me. I appreciate we can share things like that with each other.

  JH - Yes of course you fit in there! You always cheer me up, I appreciate you very much.

  Imagine a KH with a bar....

  it would be great wouldn't it?

  if there was a room at the back of the hall that had a bar with a selection a fine handpulled ales & spirits.

  the lights were lowered slightly, and some background tunes (not kingdom melodies) were playing, and there were some nice cosy chairs to lounge in.. after the meeting you could and have a few pints and have a laugh about how boring crap someones talk was.

  Problem is, with all those thousands of singles being thrown at you, who's gonna pay for the cost of the assemblies?

  Um what do you mean singles?????

  Scooby, I didn't really have as bad a time as most on here either. My parents weren't hard core, we weren't always regular in meeting attendance, and, really, even though I HAD to go in service, my mom was usually happy with one Saturday and one Sunday a month. We celebrated birthdays to a certain extent etc. But still, knowing what I know now, verses how good things may have been then, I still wouldn't want to go back.

  I'm sorry, I don't know your back story, do you have family in that shuns you? I'm fortunate that my brother and his family are now out and my mother and sister don't shun me. I know family can be a big draw back for people, but I've managed to find a new family now (A&W is my older sister, noni is my niece, Mincan is my little brother, Lennyinbluemont and his wife are like parents to me, and sweetface and I are sisters lol).

  Try and focus on the here and now, not the past, and soon those feelings will go away.

  Absolutely, but we will be requiring to be flown there 1st class, put up in posh hotels, and given a driver for our transportation; just like the GB members.

  I'm liking this idea more and more all the time!
