    Just curious here...

    Where do the Governing Body and other senior Bethelite members in Brooklyn get buried when they die?

    Is there a central cemetery where they all get buried/cremated?

    Who pays for the funeral expenses?

    The anointed supposedly are recreated as spirits and go to heaven. The fleshly bodies of the anointed are buried in a field by WT Farms (Wallkill) called the 'launching pad.' There are modest headstones. Some family members make other arrangements. The same is true of Bethelites, if there is no family to make arrangements, they are buried in that same field; if there is family, they make their own arrangements.

    Well since all the pyramids seem occupied already they have to become compost in some Watchtower allotted land next to some stinky farm. At least they serve the purpose of feeding the worms instead of sticking around waiting for the birds to get pecking.

    When I was on a tour at bethel, one of the people in the tour group asked that very question. The answer given... They are recycled into glue for making more publications.

    I'm not kidding, the tour guide actually said that... I'm sure he was the one who was kidding.
