Interestingly, this was one of the major things that encouraged me to physically leave the religion. This was concerning the Menlo Park incident where they also claimed to be a hierarchical religion like the Catholic Church. I remember at the time, as I was some what of an innocent PIMQ, been totally flawed at seeing that. It very much upset me that they said that.

All the Old JW Acquaintances Passing Away
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, my dad told me an older sister passed away.
she wasn't too old (in her 60s), but i knew her 30 years ago and haven't seen her in 15 years; the main reason being that i faded 10 years ago.. yesterday, i seriously considered attending the funeral and catch-up with old jws i used to know.
after thinking it over, i decided against it.

Ron.W I can relate something very similar to your experience, at the lack of help a terminally ill JW received. The unbelieving husband of one the JW daughters, wasn’t impressed. -

Yes I’ve also been faded for about 10 years as well. It’s something that I have often thought about. There have been a couple of, who I still consider, friends who have passed away. I would have really have liked to attend their funerals. But just don’t want to be put back on the radar.
Get this. I have still been invited to jw barbecues through my father. There is just no way in hell I’m going to do that. Well at least with a degree of sobriety.
I think once my father, and his jw Brother die then that we’ll be it for having anything to do with jw relatives / friends or their events.
The only reason I’m as passive as I am with regard to the TTATT, is for the sake of my fathers physical and mental health.

A new Tony Morris thread: Question
by XBEHERE ini am not trying to hijack the already well commented on thread on this subject .
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5068920948523008/breaking-news-anthony-morris-iii-no-longer-serving-on-governing-body.
however i do have a question: for pimo's, pimq's, and those who still go to meetings in person fairly regularly... is anyone still talking about this?

Blondie : I’m just curious what was your take on meeting Ray Franz in person.

Chevel : I read the link you posted. Like the thread I’d dismiss this Dan Sydlic thing as mere nonsense, that is unprovable.

Sydlick wasn’t a kiddy fiddler. If he was that’s the first I’ve heard. Please show me links.
