JW funeral talk:
"The deceased was named Jane Doe. She got baptized in 1979, she pioneered for ten years. She is survived by her two sons. She loved Jehovah and His Organization. Now let's spend the next 40 minutes to try indoctrinate those of you that came here thinking it's a typical funeral service. Didn't think you'd attend a JW talk, eh? Well, surprise. Now, let's open the 'Bible'..."
My late JW dad never shunned me--and i think ( he never told me-)--he was not an elder because this was known in his congregation )
My JW daughter--his grandaughter--shunned him , in real terms--by never visiting him when he lived in a care home half a mile from her. let that sink in. She shunned him , i believe, because she knew he didnt shun me, in fact i visited him most days.
He died 8 years ago. I was his heir, held power of attorney and sole beneficiary. I checked his will for any possible funeral requirements--there were none.
So i arranged a private cremation and told no one else about it. It was a non religious funeral--no speeches--just a minutes silence and that was it. The only persons attending were me, 2 of my friends--both ex jw, and 2 care staff from the care home. It was all over in a few minutes.
I believe funerals are for the living family and friends., and i didnt want any of that cult there.
The WTS provides an outline for the jw speaker to use; not supposed to deviate from it. Perhaps that is why the format is all the same.
I had the outline on my mobile. He followed it to the letter! 😥
Adam and Eve and the talking Snake ...ive heard it way to many times.
Karter.
They read and expand every point on the outline. Adam n eve lost perfection, the ransom got it back, a resurrection us promised. There that took 40 seconds. REAL favorite song, short prayer; pizza and beer at some unspecified spot
