Who are we to judge where a person is going? A funeral or memorial service is for the family and friends, not the deceased. It wouldn't help the grieving process for a preacher to annouce the deceased was an aweful person and has gone to hell. Why not give the family a nice goodbye to their (hopefully) beloved and assume the best?

some please make sense of this!
by sad and lonely inhi people!..i have a serious question.and i often wonder have anyone one earth thought this way too!
why when there's a funeral the preacher always say..."got called his son or daughter home.i went to a family funeral,not this relative lived a bad (with a capital bad) life.the family knew it.he was evil,hateful,treated people wrong,yet the preacher said he's gone to heaven...so i'm now thinking then what the hell!..is hell for.no matter what i always hear the preacher say that person is gone to heaven...i asked my brother-in-law,why don't anyone say ...this person is in hell(since hell is suppose to be a place for the sinners)are the preachers afraid to say that around the families?i'm confused!

BL, I've experimented with that theory. But the movement doesn't seem to make a perceptible difference in the amount of cheek exposed to the mascara wand.
Thanks, Cloe. Now I've got even more things to wonder about.
Also, why do I say "excuse me" for a burp when I'm alone?

4. Where did the phrase "spot on" come from all of a sudden? Is it new?
5. Why do I make a face like I'm shaving when I put on mascara?
6. Why do I make the same face when I shave my legs?
7. Why does my dog hump air? Is it really enjoyable?
8. When I let someone in front of me while driving and receive obligatory thank-you wave, why do I automatically give an acknowleging nod even though I know they can't see it?
9. Why hasn't Elsewhere posted in two whole days?

I've always appreciated a good prank. It's nice when someone cares enough to pull a harmless joke on you. So at work I picked a few lucky people each year and showed them I care.
#1 I had various people call a certain co-worker throughout the day asking to leave a message for John Taylor. She repeatedly told them they had been given the wrong number. If she would have thought about it, she would have realized it was me because I loved Duran Duran. At the end of the day, I had a voice-guy (I worked for Radio Disney) call her in a cockney accent saying he was John Taylor and is calling for his messages. He really gave her the once-over for neglecting to properly take his important messages. Poor thing, she was so confused.
#2 Over a period of about 2 months, I daily swiped the pen from my friend's desk when he wasn't looking. He started locking his pens in his desk at night, but I watched where he put the key and took them anyway. It was hilarious to see him plodding to the supply cabinet every few days for more pens. He even complained to me and couldn't figure out if he was misplacing them or someone was trying to drive him crazy. It would have been good to do for April Fool's, but ended on my last day of employment there when I left his 50 pens and note saying I'll miss him on his desk to find the next morning.
#3 After a temp complained about no one caring enough to prank her, I completely reversed her entire cubicle after she left for the day. Files in the far left drawer moved to the far right drawer, phone, books, pictures, everything reversed. She loved it and decided to keep it that way.
#4 For yet another lucky co-worker, I lined up two rows of 12 styrofoam cups on his desk. After taping them all together, I filled them with water. Doesn't sound like much, but since you can't lift them together, and can't pour out one cup without spilling the others, it's not easy to figure out what to do with them. Passing by his office watching him scratch his head looking at them for some reason struck me as so funny. A few minutes later I saw him with scissors carefully snipping the tape between each one. Priceless.
I would never do anything that would destroy property (except waste 12 styrofoam cups), or make anyone angry. The effect I go for is "What the . . . ?"

Do JW Parents intentionally extort their children with baptizm?
by Elsewhere injw parents will do just about anything to get their kids to be baptized as jws.
do they do this with the full knowledge that they will have to shun their children if they leave the organization?
is this a tactic that parents use to trap their children in the cult, basically using baptism as an form of insurance or guarantee that their kids will stay in the cult?.

My inactive friend wants her children baptised as a "protection" from immorality.
Little does she realize that immorality in the congregations is about the same as out these days.

Any here commemorate the Memorial on your own?
by pennycandy inif so, why?
and how do you do it?
do you partake?

Jeff,
Sure, go out of curiosity if you want. But know that if you partake you may create a stir, but won't be counted in their statistics. You may be the only one there who eats and drinks. Your mate will probably warn you ahead of time not to partake.
If you decide to go, let us know how it went!
