  so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.

  my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.

  to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

  nowwhat?

  I'm so sorry that the indifference of the congregation added to your families' grief. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon among JWs. The faithful elderly-especially those who haven't been able to attend meetings regularly become "out of sight and out of mind".

  My paternal Aunt was not only a faithful sister but she was 2ondgen "annointed" and a career pioneer who helped form the original congregation in her town. She obeyed Rutherfraud's council not to have children during "the time of the end". She played the piano at the kingdom Hall for many years until they went to records. She was elegant, friendly, and well-liked. She lived to be 100 years old!

  Hubby and I were expecting standing room only at her memorial as there were at least 4 congregations in her town by that time and many others nearby. We were shocked that on that lovely spring day barely 50 people showed up. Apparently, she outlived everybody who gave a damn.

  BTW, this was 2004

  You Know You're A Jehovah's Witness When...

  you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..

  You know you're a JW if:

  You are late for the meeting and they seat you in the front row.

  You think reading Awake is the equivalent of a college education.

  You spend more time at your coffee break than you did in "the work".

  You know you grew up a Jehovah's Witness when:

  Your mother didn't use her wooden spoon for cooking.

  You got it with the belt for turning around in your seat during the meeting.

  You knew you would be kicked out of the house if you ever got disfellowshipped or pregnant

  Sorry, not funny

  LOL!

  What Watchtower doesn't mention: These are the affluent children of the JWs who ignored all the counsel and started successful businesses and careers, then either sent their kids to college or set them up with their company.

  Yep, Biahi, This is happening all over California.even where I live, way north of Sacramento. These people shouldn't be confused with the ordinary homeless. These people are living a transient "Lifestyle". They are most often mentally ill who refuse to take their meds, criminals. and are kicked out of the homeless shelters because they refuse to obey the simple rules, one of which is to look for a job another is "don't hit".

  To make matters worse, these pigs are purposely starting fires both in their "camps" and elsewhere.

  Baihi, you have a PM.

  Before the "Live Forever" book was" The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life" book which came out in 1968. Before that people not only had to study the "Let God Be True" book but also "This Means Everlasting Life" as well. Some people took years to get through those impossibly wordy books.

  It is plain to see that the Goat paid "more than the usual attention" to the chart and understands the overlapping generation better than the majority of JWs.
