Is it me, or is this as tacky as it comes?

interesting experience....

by hallowedbethyname in

hello all.. just wanted to pass along an experience that i had about a month or so ago.

i was invited to a jw wedding of a friend of mine.. also invited was a 'marked' brother who is a very close friend of the bride.

he was recently marked after the invitations were sent out, so he came along with his 'worldly girlfriend'.. anyways, long story short, about 10 upstanding jw's decided to make a stink just before the bride and groom were to enter the reception hall to do their first dance.

Oh my that makes me want to hurl. They truly get off on making judgemental scenes. They have zero social skills. They had a chance to show the worldly girlfriend how loving they were but instead showed the way they really are. I'm embarrased that I was ever a part of that crap.

Looking_glass, she had so little contact with anyone other than Jehovah Witnesses. I'm not sure there would be any "civilian" witnesses that could talk to his attorney. I'll ask him if he has any ideas. I know that 2 years ago she was in a bad accident, she hit a city bus and caused several injuries. It was the 3rd accident she had caused. She lost her license for good. There was a large judgement that for some reason the insurance company closed the claim as uncollectable, she had plenty of money so I don't know how she skated out of that one unless they decided she was mentally imcompetent. I don't think he'll want to call the insurance company though and open that can of worms, I'm not sure if they could reopen the judgement. I'll have him check with the county bar and see if they can make some recommendation.

Outoftheborg, you're right, it's inevitable that he is going to have to shell out some money for a good attorney. Maybe he'll get lucky and a couple of letters from an attorney might make them see the "new light". I'm sure they have justified this in their mind that they are pioneers and that this is Jehovah's way of providing for them. Thank you.

Good idea to look at websites on mental illness, I'm sure this is very common. Thank you.

looking_glass, thank you for your good advise. I agree there should be criminal charges. I don't know how difficult it would be to get witnesses testify as to her mental illness. Not that it wasn't obvious, I just don't know if a JW would help my ex go up against this Elder and his family. They are all pioneers and in good standing. My ex husband doesn't even live in the town she lives in, he's 600 miles away but he's been down there since she died trying to get her house ready to sell. He lived there at one time but there aren't a lot of people left there that he knew years ago. One woman he talked to said that his mother developed a crush on the woman's husband and openly flirted and said sexual inappropriate things to him. She would treat this woman, his wife, like a rival. She said it was very odd. I do think she would testify. My ex husband asked this kid why he thought he should get this money and the kid said "I use to do things for her" He asked what he did for her and he replied that he use to wash her car. That is one expensive car wash I'd say. Also I forgot to mention that she bought this kid a car as well.

Yes that is the first thing that crossed my mind, that she was pushed down the stairs. She wasn't found right away either, very sad. I wouldn't have held back my suspicions when I talked with the father of the kid, but my ex is being careful with what he accuses them of. He did call the police and he told them the situation. He showed them the check register with all the checks written to this family and they said "she's deceased so there is nothing they can do" I disagree and think he should go to the D.A. office and bug them until they investigate it. I think the police are to lazy to bother with it. Thank you for your post.

Thanks jgnat, I knew I'd only get opinions, I thought maybe there was an attorney on her that could refer a California attorney that doesn't particularly like JWs. My ex husband doesn't want to let it go, at least not yet. As I mentioned we have two children, her only Grandchildren. He would like to help them, not this freak kid and his greedy parents. Sorry about your mom, that must be difficult. It sounds like you are handling it in a healthy way.

You're right MinisterAmos, I was looking for an attorney that would be interested in the case and provide us with a contact number. I was also looking for opinions of non attorneys as to what direction to proceed in. He's talked to a few attorneys that want a huge amount of money and he was hoping it wouldn't cost that much. I doubt the kid has the money to fight it so I'm thinking that maybe a letter or two from an attorney might be all it would take to make them go away.
