  Oh, and I had this big Jehovah talk with my mom while we were both drinking. I told her I had a ton of doubts but felt like I can't talk about them because they just get mad. 2 1/2 conversation- told her everything I was thinking- just can't remember most of it, lol...

  I think I'm on to something here. Take the JW and go out drinking, seems like you can say whatever the heck you want without the JW radar going all off.

  I mean, really. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how much anguish and turmoil he has been in the last few years and that he needed a lot of support and help.

  so, what do the elders do? They take away a HUGE part of his support system. They disgust me. How could they possibly think that was the best thing to do? I hope they realize what they did. I'd hate to have that on my conscious.

  5 years ago, oompa got caught here under a different name. There were people who had to of known about the meds he was on, his suicide attempt back then, his depression, etc. Then, they somehow think the right thing to do is disfellowship him cause apparently, that is the loving thing to do.

  how can they not feel blood guilty?

  I haven't been on in awhile myself. When I read this my heart just sank and haven't been able to stop crying. His new obituary is up so guests can sign it. I hope everyone saw it. If not, just google his full name- Eric Hampton Reeder.

  Oompa, we all love you and you will be missed dearly.

  so, my work wants me to sign one.

  except, i'm now looking for another job because they significantly dropped my commission.

  i believe they can fire me if i refuse to sign so i have to stall.

I'm going to ask for certain edits to be made and say I need to show it to a lawyer, but any other excuses to stall?

  My son was murdered today

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
