  Poor JW dies from heat stroke

  i woman in mesa, arizona whom i've known for over 30 years recently died in her mobile home.

  83 years old and too poor to afford the added electricity of air conditioning on her $500/month social security check, she was found dead in her chair with a fan blowing on her.

  the elders said they didn't know.

  i sat on my hands for months, wrote emails that i never sent, and finally i told my family about the un scandal.

  my mom still loves me although she disagrees, but my sisters told her that they are having a family get together and i'm not invited because i'm an apostate.

  my mom says if they are going to talk about me then she isn't going.

  well, my daughter decided to write they letter.

  the foundation for this letter can be found in my previous thread a couple of days ago which can be found at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=44457&site=3.. she wrote her heart and gave them some good counsel.

  she was generous and kind in her comments, yet concise and to the point.

  Shunning/Going To Meetings Question

  by reubenfine in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was never df'd or da'd.

  i am curious if you ever were and were reinstated, what was it like to be shunned and treated as a non-person while sitting in the rear of the hall?

  i can only imagine it to be the utmost humiliation on top of a public disfellowshipping and can't imagine having to go through it.

  Suggestion for Memorial

  by reubenfine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how about if we all show up for memorial next year, go somewhere that nobody knows you, (or even where they do), and partake of the emblems?

  it would skew their numbers the looks would be priceless in a hall where 25 people or more would partake?

  then get up and leave and don't talk to anyone.
