My sibling’s mother in law died recently, and there was a condolence posted with the BORG website. I googled the name of the poster, and found the same condolence on 100s of funeral home websites!!!

Insensitive indeed!
It is similar to the way witnesses go into a disaster area to "offer the bible's comforting message" of hope...
Like a person who has had a storm rip through their community and kill their loved ones, wants a leaflet telling them there will be a fairy tale paradise in some distant future time!!!!!

This makes me so sick! But this type of thing isn't new. Back a good 17 years ago there was a crazed old lady JW who would send a letter to everyone's family in the obituaries with a tract. That's how she counted her time because she was too old to physically go knock on doors. Even then I thought it in bad taste and I was still a true believer. I can't imagine how easy it must be to count time now. Just write a few sentences and then go spam random websites with a cut and paste. Ugh. Glad to be out of the madness. -

They are only adhering to official JW policy.

Some funeral homes have appreciated having some appropriate literature on hand for grieving families. At times, funeral notices appearing in the newspaper have opened the way for writing a brief comforting letter to bereaved family members. -

The sickening bit of this, is that this isn't written in a way that can be constructed as an instruction from the WTS. It just sanctions the practice by talking about it in a favorable way. This is the equivalent to a green light "go" to most Witnesses. The insidious nature of the WTS is disgusting.

It does seem a bit insensitive. Cut & paste witnessing.
