Balance:
I have a special hate for religious vultures who regard the death of someone’s friend or loved one as an opportunity for an advertisement. Some years ago, I attended the funeral of a friend who had been murdered. The preacher knew that some of her friends who were in attendance weren’t Christian, and decided that the middle of her eulogy would be a great time to insult their beliefs and declare that they needed to convert to his church to find comfort. It still pisses me off every time I think about it.
I don’t believe we’ve ever even exchanged words before, GreysonCarlisle , but I’m sorry for your loss and furious on your behalf at the scum trying to take advantage of a grieving family.
Back when my father died, in 2014, a communication from a legal firm showed up by FedEx. I will include here the post I made on the Dope at the time. Many and varied were the ideas we were given on how to return the book we were sent.
Okay, now I’m officially pissed.
I was at my mother’s house today, and a FedEx truck pulls up. The package delivered said “legal documents” so we opened it.
Huh, it was from a firm of personal injury lawyers, a book of theirs on “Winning a lawsuit with dignity” Yeah, right. My dad hasn’t even been dead for a frakking week, and the vultures send her something like this. Probably got his name out of the newspaper articles, or from the television news story.
My inclination is to burn the book and mail them the ashes, but Mom wouldn’t like it. However, I think my Dad may have appreciated it. I won’t do it of course, but just thinking about it makes me feel better.
