I HATE JW funerals

jw funeral last night.

it was about half an hour from start to finish.

they opened with basic facts about the person.

It’s a shame this is how they’re done now. My father’s JW funeral, 27 yrs ago, was primarily about him, given by someone who knew him really well and managed to be funny and warm on a very dark day.

Coming out

by Jester in

so here is the context .

been away from the grip for over 12 months.

v close family me ever still in but we have moved to different parts of the country so little interaction on a day to day basis but this family member i love a lot.

I was close to my family, had left for twelve months and they began guessing that my friend was actually my boyfriend. I wouldn’t confirm and we had a few months where they seemed to live with that and then they suddenly felt guilty and decided to tell on me. They now shun me even though I’m not dfed. It’s been 16yrs.

Your partner may find it difficult to comprehend the consequences of their request, they could do some research and find out. But it’s your life, not theirs.

I sacrificed my family relationship for freedom, not for one person because losing your family could make you come resent that person if things get tough. Feel free to DM me.

yesterday i was looking to share a pic with a friend of mine, and i swore it was in my photo albums (i have 3).

so i start going through them, and i see so many jw pics!

i had a huge group of friends when i was 'in', and so there is just pic after pic of assemblies, dinners, game nights, rbc projects, my family and the house i grew up in, people from the hall, etc.

I came across this phrase and it reminded me of this thread:

What once burned a hole in my heart doesn’t touch me any more. I have simply folded it into my family history.

I rather liked it.
