This was a questions my wife asked me this morning, when i told her for the umpthteenth time that I won't attend the meeting today, not today, not the memorial or grape drinking or any other time. I asked her why she was worried about that and she had no clear answer, I told her as I will be dead i could give a s**t less. That any service would be for her and kids and family and non wtbts friends. It (the service) won't help me at all. Besided I don't want any elders or ms's there putting out bs for the society. I don't want them to step foot into any service for me. What a questions huh, then she gets my daughter to start asking me to go to meeting with them, and I told her if i want to hear and seen fantasy I'll watch a Disney movie. But no dad won';t go to the meeting with you. I work hard to overcome the bs they are indoctrinated with there, but she (the wife) can't seem to get it. The daughter does a lot tho. I can't wait until she gets one of those elderites to come and talk to me, I just can't wait it will be something they will always remember. (heheh)
WHO WILL PRESIDE OVER YOUR MEMORIAL SERVICE

Personally, I don't want anything Watchtower related with my Memorial Service, whenever that occurs. As a veteran, I am entitled to have a free American Flag placed over the casket and both of my daughters, nonJWs, wish for that to take place. The American Legion, DAV, and even VFW will perform any graveside services.
I sincerely doubt the dub wife and I will be together then, so I have assigned any and all plans to my daughters and their husbands.
If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?

My wife, still a JW, has mentioned this to me from time to time.
Considering that I am an atheist and freethinker, I guess the best thing is for me to make the arrangements myself. I have made a ton of new friends over the past few years - musicians, poets, singers, writers, artists. An evening - or better yet a weekend - of music, poetry, memories, partying, drinking, love-making (stay to hell away from my wife for a bit, have you bastards NO respect for the dead!!) gunfire and laughter, would be an amazing event.
And so much more memorable than the typical Witness funeral!

That is pretty low for a persons wife to sic their daughter on them to make them feel guilty but with Jdubs, that’s only par for the course.

As for me I have always thought would be nice to have some real good shit to smoke and get friends and family laughing and NOT crying and thinking about me being in oblivion till God decides to remember me in some future date.
I always hated the Witness funerals, all they ever wanted to do was council you and want to remind you how serious life is and all that sort of stuff yuck, there is enough seriousness in life already, especially when the Witness's heap the "you are a theatrical spectacle to the world crap on you continuously that has away made me want to puke.
Obtaining a keg of good beer I feel would be in order and "commendable and letting it flow freely to those who want it. As for my ashes they will be put into the ocean dropped from a ferry boat long about the first hour of the day, Haha haha if it was possible I would love my ashes to be put into a douche bag and ran through one more time.
