Hi everyone, it's a while since I visited the site so I hope everyone's well.
I want to ask a question that popped into my mind following my last visit home. In July I went to visit my family (all JW) and as you remember in one of my ealiest posts I mentioned I don't know what's my situation whether I result DF or not. When my husband and I visited my family last month, my mom told me about a girl I grew up with, who just found out to have cancer and suggested I go see her.
I had not seen this girl or her family for 18 years basically since I left my home country. She got DF then went back in then she got out again. Her whole family apart from her mom are out of JW. She was living on her own but, because of the illeness and pain she is in, she has moved back in with her mother.
I was already in contact with her younger brother via FB and seeing recent photos from last year's vacations I realised she still is out of JW.
Was a joy to see her and her mom again after all these years although the sad circumstances, and they both received me and my husband with smiles. We never touched the religion talk, but from little details of people mentioned I gathered that the mother is still inside the JW.
So I was wondering, seeing she is back living with the mother, what would happen if in the worst case scenario she would die? She is DF so...can the mother ask for a JW funeral service or not? Could people go to the funeral to support the mother even though the daughter was DF?
What's the official JW position on a situation like this?
The reason why I am also asking, beside curiosity, it's because depending on the answer I may have to add it to my will that I don't want to have a JW funeral in case both me and my husband died at the same time, and I got repatriated.
