  My guess would be for legal reasons. And maybe to keep in new, exciting and fresh for people. Blech!

  Sooo...I just have to share this with you all.

  My Grandmother died very recently and her funeral was last weekend. She was not a JW (smart!) so her funeral was held in her church. My family that are JW's of course came to the church (isn't that a no-no?) and sat thru an hour-and-a-half of prayers and hymns and seemingly had no problem with this...

  I left the JW cult over 12 years ago and my JW family would not come to my reception (had a destination wedding and so we had a celebration when we returned) even though it was not in a church and no religeous activities were to take place. They wouldn't come b/c they didn't want to condone my lifestyle in marrying a non-witness (hello! I'M not a witness either!!).

  This left me feeling angry and bitter once again at the hypocrisy of it all. I mean I have not ever been DF'd, DA'd or anything of the sort. I faded and I was always respectful of their decisions and asked them to be respectful of mine. They have no problem going to a church and sitting through all the religeous progressions of another religeon but would not come to my reception!!

  Thoughts? Please? Thanks!
