My MIL died from cancer while her and my FIL were Missionaries for the Cult. My FIL went to work every day and my MIL take care of their house. My MIL was not allowed to leave their assigned area and visit her children and grandchildren even though she did zero missionary work. There was no opportunity give to grieve or say goodbye. Rules are rules with TSCC even when they are stupid rules.

After my MIL passed away, her body was shipped to SLC so a Genedal Authority could preside over her funeral. The family made the trek to Salt Lake City for her funeral. We all wondered which GA would speak. It is really rare for a Missionary to die a natural death.

Some unknown GA showed up late (the funeral was delayed while waiting for the GA). He wanted to know the name of the woman who died. Said he had received the assignment to preside and had zero interest in knowing anything about my MIL's life.

My MIL's funeral was just another church meeting. Ert little was said about her and her life.

Perhaps if she had been a man

Sorry to hear of your MIL’s passing. Hope you’re doing Ok.

Can’t believe that GA. The life of a rock star, I guess. Places to go, people to see, how’s my makeup.
He could have at least acted like he cared; how hard is that to do?

Sorry about your loss.

Sorry, that is horrifying. Good thing I wasn't there, I would have told tardy GA "too important pants" where to go, and to take his canned sermon with him.

It should have been about your MIL's life, not some old fart's ego. I hope they had their own memorial.

Perhaps if she had never been a cult member....
obvious she had no value to the cult. I absolutely hate the cult.

Is your spouse out? How is your spouse dealing with his/her mother's death and the disgusting excuse for a funeral?

It is incredibly frustrating trying to understand why more people who attend this type of event do not come to see that they have no value to TSCC except as obedient tithe payers.

I hope this story will be passed on to your children so all will be inoculated against any involvement of the church.

I think every exmo needs to be a missionary to nevermos re what the church is really like. It is very unfortunate that outside of the Moridor, nevermos have much too kind and unrealistic views of the church.

So sorry for your loss. :(

The GA debacle is really effed up. It was an assignment? He was late? Didn't have a clue about MIL? What a bunch of
bullsh!t!

Damn cult! M effers...

He was probably late because Jesus was talking his ear off in the temple. Jesus is a nice enough guy, but sometimes he just doesn't know when to shut the F**& up.

LOL! Thanks for the laugh.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your MIL. How sad that she could not have the comfort of her children and grandchildren in her final days. It is a callous church that separates families in this manner.

You would think that the GA could at least *act* kind. Perhaps he doesn't know how.

Perhaps a letter showing your concern--although the GA may never see it in person, and if he does he'll think: "Hey, I went to the funeral, what more do you want?"

this is the power of the church, or rather the power that it's

members give to the church. Your mother in law dies on a

mission and they tell you the general authority who is a

stranger to her will preside over the funeral. He comes

he presides over it and the rest of the family can go to

hell as far as they are concerned, because they don't give

a crap. And the family stays mute and your mother in law

is not given any recognition at all. That is so F**ked up.

They don't care. They don't care, They don't care and the

family doesnt' matter. They get away with it and you put

up with it.

That all is very sad and strange.

Not a good way to memorialize a mother and a wife.

Praying for healing for your family and loved ones, and solace in your grief.

That is absolutely heartbreaking.
