I think that the hardest part is knowing that I will never see him again. This is contrary to what I have been taught growing up. I have lost many friends and family over the years and have never really grieved that much because I was going to see them again. Now that I know better, the greatest loss to date has happened. Ironic.

How does one cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a parent?
by My Name is of No Consequence inmy dad died of a blood clot as a result of surgery late last year.
to say that his death created a bottomless void in our family is an understatement.
i think about him every day, sometimes constantly.

Thanks everybody. Even though he died 9 months ago, the events of that day are still fresh in my mind. I find myself playing the same sequence of events in my head, from the time I got the call from my sister to the time I walked into the hospital room and saw his lifeless body. It’s almost like a tape recorder on a continuous loop.

My dad died of a blood clot as a result of surgery late last year. To say that his death created a bottomless void in our family is an understatement. I think about him every day, sometimes constantly. He was a faithful dub, but he would do anything for anybody. In fact, a few days before his surgery, he asked a relative to drop her car off so he could work on it. This was a man who never thought about himself and always thought about everyone else. He was the patriarch, the go-to guy in our large family, a great man.
This past weekend, we moved some items out of the house that he and my mom shared for over 40 years, the house that I grew up in. We are going to sell it later this year and my mom is going to move. Everything in that house reminds me of him and it was tough to see the house virtually empty.
My dad was only in his early 70s and got this surgery to extend his life, not contribute to cutting it short. According to our family attorney, no malpractice was done. It was just one of those things.
I have not gotten over it and do not know that I will. I do not believe in “dubism” anymore. His unexpected death confirmed for me that if (and I do mean if) there is a higher power, he/she/it simply does not care about us.
Knowing this, how does one cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a parent or loved one?

The most dangerous congregations are the isolated ones that only have 1 or 2 elders
by Chook inthe elders only have to fake it for cos visit, then the poor sheep get shorn for anther 6 months and just when publisher billy thinks the co will save their souls from these tyrants elders a new co comes onto the seen, and of course he is trained only to listen to the elders.
so the vicious cycle of religious rape continues until billy and his mates burnout..

How is this different from any other congregation?

What woke you up?
by MrRoboto infor me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).
but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.
then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

I always had certain doubts and questions that I could never get satisfactory answers to. It wasn’t so much the actions of people as it was doctrine. Overlapping generations finally did it for me.
