  i love peeling a fresh orange and eating it.

  i hate getting a phone call from someone i don't want to talk to, even if i don't answer, maybe especially if i don't answer.

  I love chocolate-covered fruit.

  I hate feeling judgmental about my looks and body.

  Your husband's great aunt? Well, I don't know how many people would feel obligated to attend the funeral of a non-relative . . . if you think it might entail you behaving badly, then don't bother to go . . it's just not worth it, in my opinion.

  P.S. Tika, I'm probably just going to send out a bunch of sympathy cards with notes that say something like, "Sorry for the loss of your loved one. I know that you will miss her." Maybe I'll send some flowers if I can afford it.

  I doubt I'll attend the funeral, which will be like a great big family reunion-craptower infomercial with all the required sniffling, drinking, eating and endless preaching for yet another person I regard as abusive. I just can't take it. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

  I can relate to your dilemma completely.

  I have a JW aunt who passed away yesterday, and I feel exactly as you do.

  Sorry for the sadness of it all, for you and for all of us when we face this kind of thing.

  I really do miss having a family, but if the only time they're my family happens to be when something terrible happens (to them), it's not much of a family.

  Family is foreveryday things, too, and if they can't be there for me for the everyday things, why should I show up for some drama over an aunt who hasn't uttered more than 10 words to me in 25 years, even when I did make myself available?

  Be well, tika!

  You got to love these emails going around JW land.

  friends,.

  a co in the w...... congregation said that the reason so many of our brothers are dis-fellowshipped isn't because of wrong doing, it's because the new system isn't a reality.

  read this all the way thru, it is truly a dose of what is yet to come.

  I don't usually read long posts and read only about the first lines, but the part of "dreading the work day" made me think that I too would dread getting up to face cleaning more motel rooms and washing more windows. That would be enough to get my but into college!

  Ditto! I really love the expression "Resurrection Center." Wow! What a fantasy - like ZombieLand Resurrections Bed & Breakfast.
