my grandmother passed away the other night.
it was expected; she's been sick in/out of the hospital for a while now.
most of us are more relieved than anything else because she has been so miserable these last six months or longer.
At my aunt's house they said a prayer for my Grams and let some balloons go. My cousin (Non-JW) actually said the Lord's Payer.
It was actually kind of sweet because I knew it was sincere, no hidden agenda. It even made me cry. My sisters went inside the house to avoid being noticed when they didn't bow their heads for the prayer.
My brother actually stayed and bowed. Hmmm, still trying to figure that one out . . .

It's actually my niece my brother shuns. It's even worse to me that he shuns her because she was practically raised as another sibling. My sister had her pretty young. I need to work on being more outspoken. There are so many things I want to say but hold back. I afraid though that my sister might shun me if I say too much. Although, I don't think she'll hold out shunning me for very long . . .
talk about "food at the proper time"!!
i was just perusing this forum and stumbled across a post by abandoned called "the joy of sect".

Any thoughts?

Blue, I can't figure out why everone thinks my brother is so great. He is self-righteous . . . But I guess if you can't read people very well you hardly know him he comes across as nice and likable. My relatives do not know my brother very well. We only see our relatives a couple times a year.
Sunday is another family get together in honor of my Gram and he'll show up and offer to pray b-4 we eat and get glory and kudos for that. He'll stay 1, 2 hours tops and leave.
I am so annoyed w/ him right now. I just found out (maybe I forgot) that he totally shuns my niece who was df'ed a few years ago. I thought he at least greeted her whenever he saw her, but last night she told me that he totally ignores her. What a freaking a-hole! I think I got let this subject die because I am just getting more and more ANGRY.

It's strange, i'm not sure how to explain it, but nobody seemed to care. They all look up to my brother. They think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know the preaching part of it though had to bother some of them. I wish I was a fly on the wall when my family was not around.

"If you, how are not J-Dubs, want to know more about the Dubs, then talk to one that is here."
That is exactly what happened! The service was exactly as someone pointed out here yesterday. My brother followed the dub outline alright.
At the end he said "If any of you here are interested in learning more about blah blah blah...... see me afterwards.
And he did just as I said he would . . . Grandma is not in heaven or in hell, she's asleep and will one day wake up. If you want to see her again you can by learning what the bible requires of you . . . blah blah blah.
It really was a JW ad . . .

Frannie,
My family is well aware of the talk's content. They do not know my brother as well as I do. They see him as a sincere J-dub even though they don't agree with him. I'm sure he is sincere to a point . . . But i'm strating to think he's getting off on the status and power the org feeds him.
I do have to get going . . . Thanks for all the comments and condolences.
I'm counting on one sarcastic cousin to be rude and obnoxious.
