JW causing more grief over my Dad's death Sat.
by Nancy K in.
my jw sister is causing problems with my dad's death this past saturday..she is down in florida, where my parents live, went there on a pleasure trip to begin with, then our dad passed (as i wrote) unexpectedly..now, she is pressuring my mom to have a viewing and a 'talk' by some jw's and my mom does not want this..my sister is one of those 'double life' jw's..she says unkind things about me behind my back, re: my illness(as my mom has told me), but she has been 'engaged' for 4 yrs.to a 'worldly guy' and we all know they sleep together, etc.,then she turns around and acts like she's miss spirituality..for her to do what she's doing now, well i don't know what to do..i want my mom and dad's wishes to be #1, and for her to try and pressure my mom into a service, also without giving me a chance to be there, well i'm not feeling too good at this point..thank you all so much for your replies, e-mails and love..don't know what i would do without you guys.

Dear Sentinel, Thanks for sharing your experience...I believe that what is bothering me is that I don't normally talk to my sister too much, because she preaches one way of life and then lives a different one..So, in the respect dept., I am lacking towards her..Then with my husband, pets, house, children & illness, I have alot to keep me busy..My illness takes up the biggest chunk of my life, so I try to keep things 'simple'..I was originally planning to fly down with my son (and my husband would follow shortly thereafter), to see my Mom, because she will be getting my Dad's ashes and bringing them home..Then she wants to bring them to New Jersey, to bury them in a plot they have, where my 19 year old brother was buried in 1975, so I wasn't planning on rushing right down there..I thought after my sister leaves, I would go down, so she wouldn't be alone, yet..I also have invited her to come stay with us for how ever long she wants to, as we have a big house. It was my sister's idea to have a 'rush' service before she goes home, that got us upset..My Mom says my Dad didn't want this, SHE doesn't want a 'viewing' as my sister put it, because my Dad looked bad when she saw him that last time..The last thing I want to do is cause my Mom any more stress..If my sister pressures my Mom into this, there's not alot I can do from being in a different state...I will still go and see my Mom and she is always welcome to come to our home, for one night or for the rest of her life, we love her..If I wasn't ill myself, I'd be able to deal with this alot better, I'd have more strength, physical and emotional, but for now I'll just do the best I can to comfort my Mom..My Dad is at peace and that is what is important, that and looking out for my Mom. I am not a 'fighter', I'll stand up for what I believe to be true and just, but I try to keep the peace in my life and those I love..Again, Thank You for your thoughts and prayers..All my best to you and yours, NK

Hello Friends, Please accept my thanks for your posts...They have been VERY helpful...I am able to fly down to Florida, as my son has offered to go with me and my husband would come down as soon as he can (he has a client that needs his help in court)..I have an unusual set of circumstances, and believe me, the last thing I want is for my Mom to be under more stress..I, too, have a serious illness and this added JW stress is not good; 3 years ago my Mom came up north to help take care of me, as I was on a very potent 'chemo cocktail' and almost didn't survive..She and I are very close. When she called me about the JW issue...( the past few days have been a blur, we've been on the phone so much..) As I said, she called me, after my sister started about the service thing..My father didn't leave any wishes, written or verbal regarding the JW service..He wanted to be cremated and have his ashes buried with my brother's in NJ..My Mom called me for support, as she has been upset with my sister for saying unkind things about me (behind my back), things regarding my illness..You see, I have developed a type of neuropathy which makes me use a cane at times and affects my speech, equilibrium and hearing. She kept telling people I was on drugs, etc., and I didn't even know, until she said it to my Mom and Dad, and then they told me. Well, I was upset and my husband was furious..But I can't be under all this stress either, it makes me feel sicker, so I just decided to try and focus on the positive things in my life..My husband, my younger daughter Em, and my son Doug, as well as our little group of pets..My doctor has told me, "surround yourself with people that love you and the h*ll with all the rest"..He's right..This website has been a blessing to me also, even though I am 'new'..The first day I went 'on' I got such wonderful support, I was flipping out!! All of you have been tremendously helpful and kind..So, anyway, things in my corner of the world are 'quite the mess' right now, but I feel peace starting to flow into my soul...I feel that all of you, my husband, son, etc., have helped me and I am so grateful..I was thinking how tough this 'time of year' is on alot of people and esp., THIS year, after 9-11..So many people grieving...I suffered the loss of my beloved Dad, but I have alot to be thankful for..Our one friend saw people jumping from the World Trade Ctr., that day, and has been in heavy-duty therapy..You see, we live very close to the WTC..So, yes, I have a great deal to be thankful for...Well, I will end this post here for now..Much love to all of you and may peace be with you and your loved ones, NK...

Thanks JT, I was told that because I am a disfellowshipped person, that the elders would not believe me (re: what my sister is doing)..AND, according to the witnesses I asked, (this was a few weeks ago), aside from the elders not believing me, it didn't matter, because Jehovah knows and will take care of it at the proper time! LOL cynically...Well, alot has changed in a few weeks, and according to my Mom, she does not want this JW 'thing' my sister is trying to push her in to. My Mom is not well either, in fact she had a heart attack 4 months ago, and she is still weak..and vulnerable. This just totally sickens me...Thank you again..NK

Gasoline Price in your area
by JH inyesterday alone the price of gasoline went up 9 cents a liter here in eastern canada passing from 68 to 77 cents a liter.
a one day jump of 9 cents a liter is equal to about 40 cents a gallon.
so now we pay 77 cents a liter or 3.50$ a canadian gallon.

What Double Standards Do JW's Practice?
by minimus inone double standard that always got to me was how a body of elders would talk about how a brother needed to "qualify" for some privilege by being a good example for weekend service and yet a number of elders would hardly ever go out in field service at all!
or how they would use 2 hours to literally gossip about everyone in the congregation, and then give a local needs talk on the need of not talking about the brothers and minding our own business.........what double standards got to you?

One of my siblings is a Witness, she is very pretty and acts very sweet, but she preaches, preaches, preaches and I see her celebrating Thanksgiving, she is engaged to a 'worldly' man(for a number of years), her fiancee tells my husband about how great their sex life is(who tells him he dosen't want to hear about it)and then talks about me behind my back! Whew!! Thanx for lettin' me vent! NK
