    My friend was killed last week on a motorway 250 miles from home while visiting his girlfriend

    a 44 ton lorry on the opposite side of the motorway crashed through the steel barrier and demolished 2 cars

    therfore 2 familys lost there loved one, my friend left 3 children aged 18 years upwards ,

    his wife had left him around 3 years previously and went to america

    my wife and i were summoned to the home around 8.30 in the evening kids crying etc

    trying to arrange all funeral and contacting relatives and friends over period of days ,its terrible arranging delivery of the body consoling everyone its a bloody nightmare

    my friend served 25 years or so in the army ,took part in special ops etc,we were very close as where other members of our group all living in london

    his financess were in a mess in debt up to his eyeballs,generaly borrowing from me which i never expected back,

    any how over the course of 3 days 2 jehovahs wittnessess arrived as friends of one of the step daughters

    they took over the kitchen ,i insisted in saying hallo simple conversation

    One of these caring sisters of mercy then fabricated a complete lie to one of my friends daughters and said he meaning me was disfellowshipped for Embezzelment .truth is i disaccociated myself but left 5 years previously

    of course i couldnot conceal my anger at these lies and told her that i was going to sue her etc etc

    the worry for me is that in these terrible circumstances , a friends death wailing children ,what harm have they done to the poor bereaved family,

    My friend once went to the meetings attended the conventions out on the ministry all the right things

    Yet he stopped going to the meetings as he saw them all as being hypocritical .etc

    What a sad story. I'm really sorry for your loss.

    The silly JW gossip is generally hard to put up with, but in such circumstances I can understand your rage.

    Take care,

    It's really tough losing a best friend, especially when it happens so unexpectantly. You must be going through many many intense feelings. I believe that death is but a doorway and your friend "lives" on. I'm sure that if he could communicate with you he would be so grateful for you stepping up to the plate and helping his family through their crisis - you are a TRUE friend, something rare and something very valuable and honored. Take care of yourself, let yourself grieve too, and if you can, you should turn to whoever you can to help you too get through this heart renching moment in your life.

    Hi Chris,,

    Sorry for the loss of your best friend.

    Motor vehicle accidents sure claim a lot of lives.

    you said:

    those poor sisters of death were wanting they are not allowed back in the house now

    Glad you got them out of the house. they seemed to be causing a lot more unwanted stress in an already tragic situation.

    your friend had obviously moved on from the witness some time ago if he wanted some other type of religious funeral. His wishes being done at his death is what is important here.

    again...sorry for your loss, Chris
