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.
My Grandma was not religious. She believed in God/Heaven but never really took to going to church.
Well of course my JW family had to bully their way into having my brother give the memorial service. The majority of the family is not witnesses. They all believe my Grandma went to heaven with my Grandfather.
Tonight my brother is going to tell them that she is dead, asleep awaiting the resurrection. And he'll try to put a positive spin on it . . . But he'll basically say:
The only way you'll see your mother/grandmother/friend/sister again is if you study the bible with J-dubs and go to meetings.
I get so pissed off! Even when I was a witness I would have taken other people's feelings and beliefs into consideration and thought it wrong to stick a J-dub up there to preach and count time
