  Thoughts on JW funerals

  by Syme in

  1. watchtower

  i recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.

  the first was a few months ago and the second today.

  the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.

  my JW dad died 5 years ago--almost to the day. i checked his will--there were no instructions as to his funeral. as i was his sole immediate next of kin--it was up to me to organise his funeral. No way was it going to be a watchtower thing--i wouldnt have gone if it was ! just a non-religious committal. just me and 2 of my ex jw friends were there--plus 2 staff from the care home he had lived in for 3 years. All over in a few minutes. i bet they thought it was odd.

  there was no-one from his congregation in attendance...but that might have been because i didnt tell anyone !

  Who was it who ''rescued'', or ''saved'' you?

  from the borg?.

  i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.

  towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

  just like jehovah--angels simply dont exist. just a fairy story.

  Misheard song lyrics

  by jhine in

  i thought that as there seems to have been some very serious sh-stuff being discussed lately maybe a light hearted thread might be in order .

  i was thinking about misheard song lyrics ( climb every woman ) and it seemed a good topic for a thread .to start off for many years l thought that fat boy slim was singing about some very posh shoes with funk soul rubber on the bottom .

  has anyone else realised that they have been singing the wrong words ?

  Are Jehovah Witness willing to end studies?

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-october-2020/how-to-conduct-a-bible-study-that-leads-to-baptism-part-two/.

  i recently came across the above watchtower article which spoke about conducting bible studies which lead to baptism.

  it progressed to say that if the bible study instructor does not see growth within the student or the desire to work towards baptism, then the studies should end.

  come to think of it..how long is each study visit meant to last ?

  suppose a pioneer has several weekly studies line up--say one each afternoon. all afternoon. say 3 hours each. in that time some mention is made of the bible. breaks for tea etc. if its with an elderly person at home the time could include other fine christan works..like cooking the person a meal--cleaning the home..doing laundry--other odd jobs.

  the elderly person would be most grateful--and happy to pay the JW pioneer for their time---and speak highly to all their friends about how kindly and christian the JW pioneer is--and recommend to others.

  end of the week--thats 5 x 3 hours time..15 hours, plus 5 studies..plus literature placed.

  and ..wages !

  everyones a winner.

  much worse here now, Simon. even where i live--the isle of wight; which had got away lightly before. now in lockdown again. But the vaccine programme is underway--so hopefully things will get better by the spring time.
