  JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.

  by new boy in

  god forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.

  so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.

  a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

  Well...I announced on here last weekend.. My jw dad died last Saturday.

  I've read his will...there's no instructions regarding his funeral.

  As far as I am aware...he had no visits from anyone on his congregation in the last year or so. Certainly no elders. He was unable to attend any meetings or memorials in the last 3 years. I don't think anyone offered to take him. His jw granddaughter lives half a mile away from him. She never went near him.

  I have arranged a simple non.religious ceremony...just the committal at a crematorium. No minister..no hymns. As far as I know..I will be the only mourner there.

  JW Expressions We Hate

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

  " who talks like that?

  they must be relics of the fred franz era.

  Office Jargon, drives me nuts

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. humour

  'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.

  previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.

  i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

  "our perception of reality has more to do with what is going on in here (our brain) than what's going on out there (in the world).".

  is it a dark square or a light square?

  an atheist doesnt have to prove there is no such thing as god. how can someone prove something doesnt exist ?

  the onus of proof is on the theist. good luck with that.

  I just love the fully awake that are still inside. Me too!

  
  

  ha ha--i can just picture people like that--sat there in the audience--glazed expression in their eyes--idiot grin--nodding at everything said.

  Swearing on the bible

  by Lost and adrift in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the subject of truth.

  ..... i was always under the impression that one of the reasons jws couldn't do jury duty or go to court etc was that we were not allowed to swear on the bible.

  ..as in i swear to tell the truth the whole truth etc etc .

  its easy to swear on the bible.

  just drop it on the floor---stand on it--and swear your head off.

  but--dont try it on the Koran--or some slammer really will have your head off.
