  A Beloved and Compassionate Elder Trapped in a Cult Just Died , What should I do?

  by TastingFreedom in

  i just heard the sad news that a very loving and kind elder for the congregation that i belonged to for 15 years just died from a heart attack.

  he was someone that i had great admiration and deep respect for, even now that i'm out from the jws.

  he was my mentor and an inspiration to me as an elder, and in many ways he showed me the contradictions of the wts, he was a breath of fresh air within a cult.

  I know that when my father died, seeing people from his past there, people I hadn't seen in decades made an impression on me and brought home the point of what a wonderful person he was and that he had touched people's lives so much even back in the '60's before I was born, that they paid their respects to him by showing up at the funeral or the showing. I know they weren't there for me, they didn't even know me or my mother. They were there to show their respect for my dad.

  I think you should do the same thing. If I were you, I would even go through the line and express your condolences to the widow. No need for a lengthy conversation, just tell her you loved him, and you miss him. No witness in their right mind would have a problem with that. As for having to listen to the talk, who cares??? It's what HE BELIEVED!!! You don't have to believe it, but it is being given because he would want it to be given.

  I hate to go back to my dad's funeral, but I had put into the memorial pamphlets two scriptures. Daniel 2:44 and Rev. 21:3,4. Not because I wanted people to know what the Witnesses teach about it, but because HE would want something said about God's Kingdom and something said about a paradise earth......whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter.

  I appreciate your problem here, but I say go for him. You will only regret it if you don't go.

  I am sorry for your loss. May our Heavenly Father give him his reward.

  I think you should meet with him. You're already DA'd. If he brings up anything about how your wife feels, just say "You would need to talk to her about that." I agree with Franklin Massey.....Show him how happy you are and the things you've learned.

  But most importantly: LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!! Please and Thank You!

  Purplesofa, you are missing the point. The person running for office must meet both requirements. ie- be a qualified elector (they could be away for military service) AND reside in the municipality for one year preceding the election.

  Just because one is a qualified elector doesn't mean they are a qualified candidate.

  Are Tie Neck Blouses stylish, or is there too much going on?

  there's a woman in a different department next to my department.

  she's a very attractive woman, but at times she wears things that leave me perplexed.

  for instance, she had this blouse on with baggy swashbuckler sleaves.

  When it comes to women who are attractive, my motto has been "less is better.....far less is far better"
