Because they will grow up in the JW belief, they will see it as she died for them. Unfortunately, that means that they will never know what they missed out on by not having her around.

Yeah...
...it was an answer; if those kids were brought up taught that their mom did right be their faith, then they will understand that their mom did right by their faith.
Whether they choose to agree or not is another question as is whether they will ascribe as adults. Hell, there are people in other faiths that celebrate one killing oneself and taking others with them. So, it boils down to either you can conceive of people having beliefs different than yours or not. In either event, you are not required to join or like it or agree.
But that should not stop you from accepting that people have different beliefs.

Any idea how many kids grow up with ONE parent and it has nothing to do with ones religious beliefs?
Read the paper and see how many killings there are over drugs in DC..and how many mommas raise kids with no daddy's around.
The kids will be loved and will be well cared fro and the father will remarry...and the kids will be better off than many other single parent families.

The kids will have this hanging over their heads all their lives, once they are old enough to understand.

To the three above that are talking about seeing their mother die for her faith, thats not what I was getting at. I ment it in a sense that growing up with out a mother would hurt in that they will never feel that presence. Never get to do things like their first big game or read a book with her or anything. Never get to make her a macaroni drawing in preschool. That kind of hurt.
Only if it is presented to them in some guilt based way. Otherwise, they should be fine. If brought up in the congregation they'll have the same beliefs and be proud of her. And as mentioned above, the father will most probably remarry and they'll grow up with 2 parents.

Only because retards on juries have tossed out logic and the rule of law and awarded huge sums of money to other retards setting a bad precedent. We need tort reform.

I'm not refuting that. All I am saying is that they will see this as a good thing that their mother did 'for them'. Trust me, my dad left when I was little and I think my mom did a hell of a job raising me. I know what your saying.
Then what seems to be the problem?
I, personally, would not do what this woman did. I have no religious beliefs to adhere to. However, I do understand that other people DO have religious beliefs, and I am respectful of that as long as they do not cause me or mine any harm.
You don't know that.

Yes...
...she does. Read this thread; looks like there will be plenty of people there to make sure they have it hanging over their heads!
whisper: 'those are the kids whose psycho mom killed herself! Don't look!'

How will they know what they missed if they never knew it in the first place.
What do you tell the kids whos parents are shot and killed in Iraq...are they gonna grow up messed up becasue momma died or daddy died?
What is the difference?
A dead parent is a dead parent...and mothers die in child birth and not are all JWs...
Not sure how you would find the stats...but moms die in childbirth...and it is not a matter of sticking with ones religion either.
ANd mommas have been kept alive even when brain dead to give brith...was done last couple of years..was all over the news...
What does that have to do with how someone ELSE might feel?

its just something you carry with you all your life.
Am I really to blame? No. But deep inside, I wonder

So you blame yourself for killing your sister?
Or you blame ???? because not enough was done to save her..
Or blame your mom for havign tiwns...
I am not sure your point here and how it relates to this mothers religious beliefs.
Just because you feel that way doesn't mean everyone does.

my point is
although the kids were not to blame, they'll probably blame themselves.
even though they will understand the religious beliefs, they will still always wonder if they were at fault.
