Went to a meeting a few weeks ago.......
by flower inwell actually it wasnt a meeting, it was my grandma's funeral but it may as well been the 'special talk' for the year with all the bullshit they were spewing.. the 'brother' giving the 'eulogy' (haha..) was an elder from my former congregation, my parents current congregation and to my knowledge (i'm 99% sure) has never met or seen my grandmother before that day.
neither had any of the other jw's that were there 'supporting' my family...well the jw family anyway, the rest of us dont need support since we are df'd.. i hadnt been to a meeting for almost 2 years now and i cant tell you how hard it was sitting through the twisting of scriptures and arrogance know it all attitude coming from the speaker.
my bf and i just looked at each other in disgust while scripture after scripture was read to prove the dead are just dead and their soul is dead and all we have to do is wait till the ressurection if we want to see them again.

excellent poem.....you are talented....
THE SILENT CRY
The silence of the cry with in,,,,the pain that no one knows
for my husband is an elder,,,so off sheperding he goes
he makes no time to spend with me
though i plead,, and beg and sob...
still he looks at me with holiness,,,and says,,,I AM DOING JEHOVAHS JOB!
we congregate with our brothers,,,and he smiles from ear to ear
but i bite the inside of my cheek,,,fighting back a tear...
no prayers,,,no hugs,,,the children he doesn't see
yet,,,everyone tells me how lucky i am,,and how jehovah has truly blessed me
the silence of the cry within,,,the pain that no one knows..
unable to share my feelings with anyone,,,
they remain dark secrets,,,locked in my soul....
