  Is life ever the same after losing your parents?

  mine are still alive, but my grandad who brought me up died in 2002. my aunt, who is a jehovah's witness, has not been the same since he died.

  i am sure she has depression - my dad also, who is not a jehovah's witness and can't even cling to the resurrection hope.

  my grandad was such a great big person that he has left a tremendous gap in the family.

  codeblue, I know exactly what you mean about feeling like an orphan. That's the way I felt when my dad died. My mother died when I was 3 and even though I have a wonderful step mother, I still felt alone on this earth. You are right, the "society" does not allow you to grieve properly. As soon as my fathers funeral was over, we were expected to just behave like nothing happened, all was fine and good. It's no wonder there are so many depressed JW's or JW's with so much sickness, they bottle up their feelings inside which is not healthy.

  No, I don't think it will ever be the same, there is a part missing. That being said, you have to adjust and carry on (after proper grieving of course).

  I lost my father over 4 years ago, and I still have times that I miss him desperately. Yesterday was one of those days (Fathers Day). I still have a cry over missing him from time to time, but I try and remember the good times we had and that the last few years of his life were not quality years and he had alot of health issues that were very difficult for him to deal with. I hope and pray that wherever he is now is a happy place and he's free of pain.

  if you've read my previous posts you'll know that my relationship with my mom has had its ups and downs since i left the org.

  while my parents (both jw) still speak to me, the relationship has been strained.

  well, this past week i got up the courage to call her and invite her to lunch, something we haven't done since i da'd last august.

  I take things one day at a time with my mother too. At first she told me she wanted nothing to do with me, took me out of her will etc. I told her my door was always open. In time she came around, apologized for the things she said and called a truce. Right now it's a don't ask, don't talk about "religious" things. She mentions assemblies/meetings but never invites me anymore, and has accepted that that is no longer part of my life.

  There is hope! Enjoy your future shopping trip!!

  And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  it was only in the last year or so before i 'saw the light' that it dawned on me.

  i knew co's who could quote wt texts, page and line, but almost never really used the bible.

  I always used my bible in service. That's where I would tuck my notes on what to say at the door.

  My hubby was counseled on his purple truck. He bought an old chevy p/u, and put a lot of blood sweat and tears in that thing. He fell in love with this purple paint he saw "Plum Crazy". Needless to say he got quite a few comments from the elders. (Plus he was pulled over by the police all the time in that thing!!)

  Updating of medical records

  by Cabin in the woods in

  for those of you who have walked away from most of the scriptural beliefs you might want to take a moment and check you familys and your own medical records.

  while being a witness most of us had no blood warnings posted on all of our paperwork and a flag for our personal drs.

  on our files.

  I was just thinking about this. I have a Dr's appt next month and was considering this. I've been going to this Dr since I was 4 years old, my whole family has. I know there is supposed to be confidentiality between Dr and patient, but there has been the odd time the Dr has mentioned something about me to my mother. I know my mother would freak if she knew I'd be willing to accept blood now, so I'm a bit nervous about this.

  Convention Delegates (I use that term loosely)

  by mjarka911 in

  i'm a union firefighter and just went to my first state association union convention as a delegate and it gave me pause about how we were all called delegates at assemblies.

  as a delegate to the firefighter convention, i was able to debate resolutions on the floor and in committee as to the diretion of the organization.

  then, most importantly, i was able to vote my choice.

  It has been reported by some that there is a resolution, but it's also been questioned as to it's credibility.
