If Your JW Parent Died Would YOU Go To The Kingdom Hall For The Talk?

Well my grandmother is nearly 100 years old. She's had serious health problems for over 50 years, and she's suffered greatly. She has had cancers, tumors, strokes, four brain surgeries, countless hospitalizations, and much more more. And when I say much more, this is a bit of an understatement. She is still brought to the kingdom hall for every meeting, assemblies and out in service. She really isn't in any condition for the grueling schedule they put her through, and things happen that upset her greatly (falling and pooping her pants as just two examples).
It's inevitable that she will pass. I don't know what to do about the KH service. I think I will wind up going and suffer through it. I try not to think about it.

As a JW Did You Often Feel "Guilty" About Something?
by minimus inif muslim is supposed to be the religion of peace, jehovah's witnesses has to be the religion of guilt..

The strongest memories I have as a JW = constant guilt. The guilt was coupled with paranoia. What a way to live.

Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

Terry, I don't chime in much. But I've been keeping up with this thread. What a powerful experience. I look forward to reading any updates about Jordan that you may have in the future. It sure sounds like you will continue to hear from him. I feel for him.

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?
by Wasanelder Once inhow many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.
