RIP at least the world didn't get him, words of comfort?

by MissFit in

to my grieving sister about the death of her only son almost 2 year ago.

he was 25.. we were having lunch when she repeated those words of"wisdom" from one of her jw in-laws.

this is a hard month for her.

I know my sister still grieves deeply. I wish I could give her real comfort instead of false hope I. I think right now the only thing keeping her going is the reserrection hope.

They sold their house and are changing congregations since they are moving so they can start fresh without so many reminders.

My heart hurts for her. She loves completely heart and soul and her children were her life. He was her first born. She was so close to both of her kids.

It kills me to see her having to live without her son.

Sipping our drinks at the track..part 2.". I didnt tell them anything," she said

...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).

instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).

my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.

Millie: thanks. I am so glad I met her. She always tells me how much my company means to her. We have confided in each other and have shared some painful memories.

I always look forward to Sundays now.

Jhi29: I forgot to welcome you. Many new posters start an introductory thread. That gives the other members a chance to welcome you and get to know you.

Hope to read more of your posts.

Torn apart: what a beautiful memory. I am so glad you had someone like that in your life. She was lucky to have you for a friend. My lady always looks so elegant even in jeans.

Hi hairtrigger. I respectfully decline to publicly name the state to preserve my privacy.

I do not my JW lady to be outed. I sent you a pm.

I will say this is not a major track. It is next to a casino.

We go there for the food and drinks.

Jhi & heaven: you are right. Life is to be enjoyed. This little sister had a big scare last year. Her heart was really bad and they wanted to do a by pass but couldn't because she was too weak.

She really thought she a just a few months to a year to live. She was preparing to die.

She switched doctors and found out her former doctor had given her the wrong medicene dosage . The new doctor gave her a new lease on Iife.

She knows life is too precious to waste. She also knows blood pressure goes up at meetings. She doesnt think they are worth a heart attack over.

In her heart she feels she serves god and that he can read her heart and is the final judge, not some brothers.

She just doesnt like nosey people in her business.

Yeah we could always say we were going to go to the pm meeting.

I personally dont care if they see me. My friend is more self conscious. Plus she is so polite she has to acknowledge someone if she sees them. Everyone knows her and

loves her. She doesnt like all of the attention.

The track is a great place. If we see a JW there they better have a tract in one hand or they will be the one ducking for cover.lol

Steve: you are so right. She is very independent but I think if the Elders counseled her, she would be guilted into trying to go to the meetings even if they caused her blood pressure to rise.

I hoping she will start to see how really controlling they are.

I mentioned to her that most Born in JWs really cant think for themselves because they have been told what to do all their lives.

She is a convert..she is in her 80s and has been a JW for around 25 years.

I told her she was used to thinking for herself and using her common sense. BUT most JWs dont.

She said she never thought about it that way before.

Turning My House in to A Ex-JW Gathering Church, Will it bug my JW Neighbors?

by BucketShopBill in

i am thinking of turning my house in to a ex-jw meeting place, getting bar, pool tables, ping-pong, foseball, pinball and kegs of beer on tap.

big screen singles pad for the local ex-jws to visit and hang out.

will this bug all the jws who live near by me, do they get weird around known apostates?.

MissFit

I guess a party would be more fun than a law suit😷

They do say living well is the best revenge.

Steve had good advice. Be assertive not as an annoyance.

You are better than that.
