    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. As for your aunt and uncle, unfortunately their behaviour is not unusual for Witnesses and they are utterly dispicable for saying what they did. When the dust settles, I would write them both a letter outlining their very non-Christ like behaviour and site it as one of the reasons why you'll never go back.

    Many in the Organization have a totally whacked view of how to act when someone dies. Some will really weird shit like go out in Service the day after, just to show where their loyalty lies. They don't like it when you show 'too much grief' because they feel that you're not applying the scripture that says "do not mourn like those of the nation who have no hope" and obviously you don't believe that the Noo Cistern of Things is right around the corner.

    It's a shame you had to go through this, but not really surprising.

    Words just can't express. Most others have already said it best. My deepest condolences.

    How sad that you had to go through this. Hold your head up and try to ignore them while you go through your grieving process.

    Wow, a lot of pain is coming up on this site.

    So very sorry for your loss, happyexjw, losing a parent is awful..just awful.

    Jw's always seem to have so much to say don't they, at times like this. Why can't they just be kind. Keep your chin up..
