My Brother, my sister, myself, Xena and those with us walked out when we were called aside and asked not to attend the reception after the memorial.

Tim........sorry to hear of your loss. It's a shame to have to deal with a narrow minded cult while coping with the loss of you mother.

We came back to my house and had our own ceremony where we all stood around her picture with candles flickering in the cold night air and talked about what we loved about our mom and what we are going to miss about her.

They sure show LOVE by their actions. They are forced to allow you to be at the memorial,being open to the public and all....BUT they shut the gate at the reception.Only true believers get to go there.
The memorial you privately held with only those close to your mother is far more meaningful than anything the cong could ever do.

That is a lot more meaningful than the wt schlock they spew at king hall funerals. My condolensces on your loss. Retelling all those things must help in letting go, i imagine.

I was afraid that was going to happen. If the JW's weren't filled with paranoia you'd think they would use the occassion to invite you back and give you the warm fuzzies about how you were missed. Just goes to show there is no reason to ever step foot in a kingdom hall again. Not even for the funeral of a loved one. I'm glad you guys left.
