I think it was one of those things that if you died on the WTS property as a result of an accident or self-inflicted injury, they took that as authorization to move your body off the property and thus they could have a clean record with the safety commission: "no deaths have occurred here in X number of years..." kind of thing.
Why do you sign your dead body over when you go to Bethel?

I have no proof that Bethel ever killed anyone. I was just asking the question to all of you out there. I asked if any of us had a copy of the document, or knew more information.
The policy makes me question. It could be for workman's comp. But, that is still wrong. Imagine if Ford was hiding factory job deaths....
As far as Anderson, Franz, & Watters....well, I thought that Anderson left Bethel's property under really good terms. I thought she went to Tennessee & was still working for the writing or legal department.....then got disfellowshipped while living in Tennessee. I don't know about Franz or Watters.
IF a governing body member is gay, and the dead Bethelite had an affair with the GB member....... why are you quick to say that there would be no foul play?
20 years ago, I would have never guessed or imagined that the WTS was part of the UN. I would have never guessed that the child molestation issue was due to internal coverups. Etc, etc, etc. So, nothing is impossible.
I leave this an open item. I will watch. Time will tell the truth on this subject.
But, if I was in Bethel & wanted to leave.....I'd theocratically lie my way out. "My family is sick, I want to get married, etc." Leave & then once back at the regular congregation fade away.

: If we died while at Bethel the Wathtower Bible and Tract Society had the rights to our body."
This begs a simple question: why? They own you in life, and they also want to "rights" to "own" your body in death? They fuck you up in life and then demand they can fuck you up after death? Who ARE these Satanic people?
Why? Where in the Bible is this "Bible Based(tm)?" Why? Why? Why?
"Rights" to a Bethel worker-bee's body? Why? I've always known the WTS was a major controlling CULT, but I never thought they would go this far. The family has no rights to their son's body? The WTS preempts normally accepted family rights to a "body" in death?
Gawd. These people have no shame. None. They are worse than evil. I have no further words to describe their evil.

I think whole bodies go for far more than 200.00......even more if you part them out. Medical schools pay a ton for a whole skeleton. Organs sell for tons on the black market but you have to get to them quick.
Do they really have their own cemetary?

I know the Jdubs may be a looney bin but I don't think they would go as far as murdering people, that's just a little too stupid too swallow - it's probably just some legal thing.

You know that normally the next of kin has 'jurisdiction' over ones body-but all the same, if there is any kind of suspicious death, the police/coroner folks get first dibs. Not to spoil your Soylent green speculations:) Deaths still have legal requirements, and I doubt there are many that go 'missing' from Bethel. Besides, considering how many ex Bethelites, and even an ex GB member there are out there, I am thinking there would be a smoking gun. Most JWs aren't evil, they are deluded (or would delusional be a better word?)
