They never came to see me after I sent my letter of resignation!
When Hubby was sick and dying I begged them to come see him..his JW Mom and sister were visiting us and they even stopped by the Assembley hall up the street where the "brothers were working on the hall getting ready for the overseers visit) and told them to please come see him..They promised they would. Never came..when his Mom and sister went home they called to check with us if they had stopped by..I told them NO. They were furious..My JW sister in law lives by the Watchtower Farm and she made a few phone calls!
Their excuse was they each thought the other had went.They even lied and said so and so stopped by and no one had!
A few days later this really old JW man came alone to visit hubby..he was almost deaf and hubby was too weak to talk much.
He reads the Daily text to hubby (which I usually did every day) and it just so happened to be on a woman's menstral cycle!..How sick is that?..No upbuilding words..no prayer..I had to ask him to say a prayer before he left..(I didn't stay in the room but could hear what he was saying.)He only stayed about 20 minutes..
Now hubby was attending meetings pretty regular before he got sick. But not going out in Service much as he wouldn't do it on his own and didn't seem to get much encouragement.
I don't know if they just said he wasn't that important or what. I do know that they were redoing the hall and were on a tight schedule to get it done to impress the overseer or whoever visits them now..
When he was in the hospital and there was talk about Blood ..they came in a flash to show the hospital that was a No No..
After that..we saw them 2 times in 5 months. That's love for you!..
When he passed away my JW MIL called them and they (3 of them!) came over..he was still here as he had not been picked up yet. They did NOT want to go in that room.I didn't know what they usually did but I kind of expected them to say some kind of prayer for him..
Nothing..just stood around with their hands in their pockets and promised to do a "Back call" on me to see how I was..Never saw them again..I do see the witnesses go by maybe 2 or 3 times a year..but they always walk right by my house..
Hubby died thinking his "Jehovah" didn't love him and that's why the witnesses wouldn't come around. I assured him that was not true..but that's what he died thinking!
I don't think I have ever hated anything in my life..but at that moment when he said that..I hated the witnesses!..
Snoozy...
