I may be totally wrong on this, so any "previous elders" can help. I always thought that cremation was against the religion. Back in say 1985 or before? I was told no tonight by family members. Ok, one family member who still talks with me!!!!!!!!!

I told my boyfriend tonigh, I will get more loving response from this forum, than I would ever get from anyone who is one of JW's! And I was right! I have had more love in this forum, than I have ever had in the 18 years growing up in the "truth"! I am thankfull that I have people to talk to that understand, and acutually CARE!

You know what is really sad about this whole thing? Is not that my grandpa, at age 92 is passing!!!!!!!!!!!!! He lived his life. It's the jw's that cant come up to me and hug me when Im crying, family that will not!!!!!!!!! Especially family! I cant cry and hug either one of my uncles, cause they are both elders. Thats just wrong! Goes to show......................................................................

Maybe its just the situation, but it makes me wonder how after all these years, he decides to become one of JW's. When they asked him in the nursing home what religion he was, It wasnt catholic, it was a JW! Just freaky, and I guess it makes me thing a little. Not alot, just a little!!!!!

You all have me in tears already, cause I have never, ever, gotten any kind of support and love that I have received from this forum in three weeks, that I have ever received from the KH all my life!

I'll try to make the religious story short. My grandma has been a witness for a really long time. My grandpa, catholic. When his mother was on her death bed, she asked one thing from him....To always stay in the catholic religion, and go every sunday like he always did. And that he did. Until about a year ago. The story is that he wasnt giving enough money to the church, so he was brought aside and told that his mother would always be in purgatory if he didnt give more money. His thought was, "who say's she's in purgatory now?" Then some controversy over a child being molested in his church made him sick!
So.........He decides to start going to the KH. He has gone for about a year now. When he passes, they will hold the memorial at the KH. He is not a baptised witness, but I guess they view that differently than other things. ?????
Of course I will go, but in all my dispair, I will not receive any comfort from my family because I am DF'D! Come and go like the regular meetings! I am just beside myself tonight!
Just venting all!

Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?
by GetBusyLiving ini know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.
and share experiences with people who understand.
but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

cindykp
Well, I think defend them, and bash them all in one conversation! Depends on the subject we are discussing.
