  and its 'goodbye from him'

  i've taken a leaf from holly's book to thank your for having me on the forum - thirteen interesting days but came to realise one cannot achieve much speaking from behind a screen.

  people do not know who you really are, nor do you they.

  i read many of holly's posts but few others.

  Bye Bye
  
  When the elders knock you for a loop, may you remember this URL and return to really actually read what is posted here.
  
  But for now enjoy your trip into la la land!

  I'm so sorry for you. My last grandparent, my Grandma, died when she was 94 and I was in my 40's. It was not any easier because of her age! I still miss her today, many yrs later.

  NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FUNERAL!!!!

  by chuckyy in

  2. experiences

  just an update on my previous thread.as you know, my mother in law who is a jw, asked me to conduct the funeral for my father in law.i am disassociated.

  apparently, the elders wrote to the society and had a meeting today.

  the outcome is that noone is allowed to come to the funeral, not even close friends of my mother in law from the hall.

  chuckyy,
  
  I just read your recent threads on this board. Please accept my condolences for your FIL's recent death.
  
  It appears to me that the reason that the Society is forbidding all JW's from attending the funeral is because your MIL refused to take "the loving instruction" (tm) of that elder to shun her DA'd daughter and family - and yes this does include her own grandchildren. According to their viewpoint, she is being "disobedient" to "Jehovah's . . um 'loving' . . . Organization" and needs to be disciplined for HER actions. In their sick way of reasoning - how much better to show 'their love and concern' for your MIL by NOT attending the funeral of her non-JW husband. The elders think that by metting out this sort of 'discipline' they will be able to achive their goal and get her to obey their instruction to shun her daughter.
  
  It is all about MIND-CONTOL! But in reality, this may just be what your MIL needs to join you in leaving that FREAKING MIND CONTROL KULT!!!

  Thanks for the early greeting. Here in the U.S. Mother's Day is May 8 this year. I always buy out-door flower plants which my Mother can enjoy all summer long.

  Lee,
  
  I have a very old 'puter and can't run video clips. Is the story in print somewhere on the net? Maybe even a transcript of the video-clip would help.

  Fairchild,
  Nice post! I always like reading your posts.
  
  AlmostAtheist -
  
  "If she keeps up her "prove it to me" attitude, it will eventually be her undoing."
  
  I could not have said it better myself.
  
  My own observations on Holly's posts:
  
  She claims to have been part of the 'born-again' churches for 17 years, yet I find many things missing when she refers to her experiences with this group. 'Born-againers' use many catch phrases that belong to that group only. (Much as dubs do - 'in service' is an example.) I found this 'in jargarn' missing from Holly's posts. Instead her posts sounded way too much like she was ALREADY a dub! I just wonder what type of churches she had attended in the past. It would be really nice to know. I guess that we on JWD may never really know for sure exactly why she came here.
