I just want to be cremated.. no big fuss.. if my kids want to have a small service because it gives them closure that is fine.. I can't see spending a lot of money once your life is over. its better spent while you are alive.. When my father in law died as a JW he had lots of relatives and JW friends. so my mother in law rented a huge hall to have a dinner in after the service at the hall.. It was a real circus..I thought it was silly and tastless really.. but she loved all the fuss...

What kind of funeral will you have?
by MsMcDucket ini know that this is a morbid topic, but i often wonder what kind of funeral that i should have.
i mean, i'm not associated with any religion.
i don't want a preacher there speaking about the afterlife or trying to recruit followers.

American Idol

i thought it was time for kellie to go.

I think out of all of the Idols.. Katherine has improved the most.. She has star quality in that the camera loves her and she can sing anything..I still love Taylor's style .. he is a true performer who is fun to watch.. Elliot and Chris have amazing voices.. They all deserve to win!! Kelly is a sweet pretty girl but not quite an American Idol.....

I thought Kat was brilliant. and I was happy Simon apoligized to her for telling her she didn't sing well.. I still like Taylor Hicks the best.. I hope he goes all the way..second Kat and third Elliot who has an amazing voice but is underreated as he doesn't have personality like Taylor or Kat..

Atheists Worst Nightmare!

God led me to the JW congregation.
by jw ini rented a house in the late !970's and the contents in the home were given to me.. it happened to be books: ( making my life happy, revelation, children bible stories, listening to the great teacher ) i was enjoying the reading.. -----------------------------------.
a few years later began to notice awake magazines in doctor offices, and other public places and read them and enjoyed them.. ------------------------------------.
late 1980's my 7th son was 2 yrs.

jw I have read the bible from cover to cover .. and no where does it say the GB or the JW organization is god-inspired..I seriously don't even believe you are really a JW..

jw.. I think fairchild asked you a fair question as to why you are here on a forum that is full of ex-jws.. we will not support your views or encourage you in your jw views.. I don't find any of your replies to make any sense and you are not answering any questions sensibly or reasonably..

!!!!!!!!!! New Elder Video !!!!!!!!!!!!!
by SickofLies inthis time they really did call the police on me lol!
they backed out though, they called, then canceled the call after a while and the police never came to charge me with recording them, pitty really.. http://www.quad-central.com/~dan2007.
there is the link, i was unable to edit the audio file like i usually do to take out the blank spaces and amplify the volume, so if someone could do that with the wav file on the server that would be great!.

SOL.. Thanks for posting all the recordings of your committee meetings with the elders.. They really show how close minded and petty they are.. and that they reallly are NOT god-inspired.. Just a bunch of self-righteous silly men....

How did you cope?
by Zico inwhen you found out that this religion probably wasn't the one true religion like you had believed probably for a large portion of your life, or maybe even all of it, how did you react?
my whole life belongs to the society.
all my friends are witnesses, my family are witnesses, even my job is dedicated to the society.

I was dealing with a lot of depression and feeling sick when I was attending meetings and trying to deal with field service.. It was such a relief when we finally decided to break away and be free from the organization..A major reason that I felt it was not god inspired organization was when they wanted to disfellowship my mother because she had mental illness...It wasn't' until I found this forum years later I realized all the lies the society teaches..Just knowing you have made the right decision and chosen freedom over living a life dictated by a cult makes it easier to begin a new life...free and independent thinking...

If you are happy with the JWS that's great.. but God didn't lead you there.. because the JWS are not god inspired.. they are run by a bunch of egotistical men who write dribble they call Bible publications and then brainwash their members into selling them from door to door.. for jusst a small contribution to the society.. of course
