I think you should take your share of the money and enjoy. Don't worry about what your sister does with her share. Don't be greedy.

i am an ex jw and happy.
my sister is an ultra jw married to an elder.
my non jw grandfather just past away and my sister has said for the last 15 years that she wanted nothing to do with that side of my family including me and especially my grandfather.

iwill be the first to say that i did.
not surprising considering how they treated me all my life.
i had conseling for it ( wordly counselor) but between us neither one could work out where this issue came from.
I of course never mentioned that i was a JW.
I did the same thing. I got tons of prescription drugs that helped to numb my feelings, but was afraid to tell too much. Just incase.

I would ask, what is an apostate?. Then say, Yes, because by definition I am. Chances are, they are to. I'm not offended by it. I've even considered buying jewelry with big letter 'A's and wearing them like a proud Scarlet Letter.
About 9 yrs ago, on one of my rare conversations with my dad, on the phone, He asked me point blank, "Are you an apostate? I felt a sickness go though my body, like a punch in the stomach feeling, and I said, "No". But I would never say that again....not even to/for him.

my dad,an elder for 25plus years,concentration camp survivor,the works,died in a few weeks ago.i am df'd but have been the only one who helps him and my mum.my jw sister couldnt give a rats ass about them.i was at my mom and dads house after he died,helping my mom with everyting,hell,id been there for 2 months because i was afraid to leave them alone.i knew my dad wasnt feeling well.guess he was worse than i realized.he died.the witnesses came in droves.small kitchen.im sitting at the table.they not only didnt speak to me,but they didnt even acknowledge that i was in the room,about day 3,i stopped answering the door..one "lady" called.sister carol.when i answered the phone she hesitated and said",now you know,i caint tawk to yew"{strong southern accent.ala elie may clampett}"you orta let cher mawma ainser the phone.
"i told her to bite me and hung up on her...same here,when we got back home.i hate these people with the fury of a thousand suns,but for some reason,i am now in possession of some great elders notes.been laying low,but im going to start posting the juicy stuff.just cause itd be nice for calvin to know that he was seen "dancing recklessly" at a wedding and that sister renee was being councied for her weight and still insisted on gaining more.also that sister e wasnt giving her husband his "due"..{yik}and that certain concetration camp survivors were being coerced into saying that they were jw's at the time of incarceration.but one wouldnt.my dad refused to play their game,and as a result he was asked to step down as an elder at age of 80.that and that he refused to shun me.his notes have been very enlightening..nice folks thise jw's,no?
they were so mean to my dad, he really believed this crap,and tried to do the right thing.but because he wouldnt dance their way,and turn me,his favorite person{and he was mine|into the cold they treated him badly and mocked him and even his accent.i hate them.really.any ideas?the local elder here,just asked my mom about her financial situation...grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That is horrible.
I'm so sorry for your loss...I'm so sorry you were treated so rudely.

so what do you think happens to someone when they die.
i learned of the death of someone yesterday that was never a very good person.
i can't help but wonder where he is now... is he dead "aware of nothing" like the jws always said?
Its like before being born.
When one of my granddaughter's was three, she told me that she used to have lots of horses. I laughed and said, "You did?" she looked at me and said , "I'm serious, before I was me, I was someone else and I had lots of horses."
Either it's true or she had one hell of an imagination for a three yr old that hadn't been around horses.

the comment "fuck 'em!
" has been left for three hours and it's still there.. .
if some of you may recall, i posted on jw c@fe "praise jesus!
If some of you may recall, I posted on JW C@fe "Praise Jesus!" and it was promptly removed within TWO MINUTES!
I don't know why, but that made me laugh out loud.
I figured the F'em post wasn't' deleted because he was talking about worldly people.

i was df-ed 3 years ago.
during the process nothing extraordinary happened.
everything proceeded as if according to a script.
Yes, I was told that. At that moment I knew the elder was full of shit and not holy spirit.

a wedding is in the works for my dad!
he's been very lonely since my mother's death.
the bride's in her 80's, and a lonely jw who lost her husband a few years back.
But, I'm not sure why he is doing it...
Just last night, I said to my husband... isn't it sad that some people have no one to snuggle with.
Can you imagine night after night of being in your most vulnerable state, and there's no one there to reach out to you or hold close.
I'm happy your dad has someone to snuggle with.
