Ask him. Put his wishes in writing and then you'll have the power to execute them.
Otherwise, yes, your sister may take over with the whole JW funeral customs.

Need Advice
by love2Bworldly ini need some feedback on a delicate matter.
my non-jw father is going to be 87 years old in a few months.
in the event of him passing away, i'm worried my jw sister will take over the funeral arrangements with a jw talk and all that.

Inheritance and Ex JW children
by greendawn inwe all know how disfellowshipped or disassociated children get treated by their jw parents, that they are totally shunned.
but what happens when it comes to family inheritance do they get treated fairly or do they get a lesser share or in extreme cases perhaps nothing at all?
and would jw parents that have no children left in the wts choose to give everything to the org?

Ex-JW children miss out on everything family related if the parents are firm JWs, including inheritance. They'll be lucky to find out on time to make it to the funeral/burial that the parent(s) have died.
It's down right cruel treatment that they get.

Chemo begins today
by outnfree inso, i've been sitting at the computer all night long, not really panicked, but definitely disturbed at the thought of what the months to come will entail.. the port-a-cath was "installed" (surgically) on monday, and that was tough.
somehow the lumpectomy last month and even finding out that there was lymph node involvement was okay.
scary, but okay.

I now know what it feels like.
by Es inhey all i used to read posts where people have found out they have lost loved ones and were never told about it nor the funeral.
last week my mum called me up and said "by the way sister such and such passed away last week the memorial was yesterday"!!!!
i used to be close to this sister and for those from australia might even had known her or heard of her sister isabelle sewell married to ted sewell, they have been living in bethel for over 10 years now.

That is so rude!!!
They probably do stuff like this to keep certain people from going to the funeral or the burial. It's down right inconsiderate.
My relatives pull stuff like that with the relatives that have faded or that are non-JWs. They're ashamed to have them show up at the funeral/burial.
JWs in 'good standing' are ashamed of those in their families that have left the religion. THAT'S THE PLAIN TRUTH.
Sorry to hear this happened to you.

The usual cookout with family and other 'spiritual weaklings' and watching of fireworks.
But of course, we're not doing it to celebrate Independence Day in way. We just do the cookout because everybody happens to be off from work and we watch the fireworks because they're just soooo pretty!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!

Drink a tall glass of water and go to bed. You'll like yourself better in the morning.

Potty Mouths?
by Low-Key Lysmith inwhen i got out of the dumbs, i use to cuss non-stop i think as a pathetic tactic to make worldy people think i was a little more worldy.
i still swear from time to time, and foul language does not offend me at all, but i was talking to my sister the other day, she just turned 21, has discovered alcohol, is currently on public reproof, and i think is really close to being on her way out herself.
she cursed like a sailor the whole time i was talking to her.

I dislike obscene very much. There's just no need for it to get any point across.
Obscene language was never used by my relative adults when I was growing up. I'd have to be extremelly upset for me to crank out any offensive language; and even then I don't think it's justified.

Any Lefties?
by Why Georgia inmy oldest son is left handed.
everytime he does anything different from the rest of us.....my husband relates this to being left handed.. he is very artistic, detailed, and extremely particular about how he wants things in his little world to be.. this may be because he's 5 - who knows.. are there any traits of left handed people that you lefties may want to share so i can be prepared in the future?.
thanks in advance,.

I've heard left-handed people are very smart, math oriented.
Hope it's not a myth.
