Jimmy Olsen's family elected for the WTBS to take care of thnigs. Think of cases like Wheelock when he killed himself. The WTBS had a mess on their hands since he had no family outside. Whats wrong with being buried at WT farms? It has a good view.

Why do you sign your dead body over when you go to Bethel?
by new boy inthis is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. in 1970 when i went to bethel we signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society had the rights to our body.
yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty year old you didn't think much about it.. i know of two brothers who killed themselfs while at bethel and two others who tried end their lives.
my guess is people have been killing themselfs at bethel long before i ever got there.

I think it is a legal thing. Some of the Bethelites have no family to take the body and dispose of it. I remember when a bethelite fell down the elevator shaft at Squibb (1973) on watchman duty his parents came to collect his body but if he had no family then the Society has to do something. Do you remember the question as to the disposing of the body? Cremation or cemetary plot? I believe the plots refered to the ones at the Farm in Walkill.

I must say it was the most BS I have watched in a long time. The whole DVD was dedicated to the glories of the organization. A grand tour of the real estate holdings. Are the dubs asked questions about the DVD? Will the CO expound on the DVD? What a waste of time!

Do you think the WTBS is installing cookies on your computer to track you when you leave? Or identify you?

Just as a side note: So many of the elder dubs are retired military and as a conditon of their retirment they MUST agree to be activated back into the military in the case of a national emergency. They are still considered a part of the military as long as they recieve military retirement pay. How many elders have you known that were retired military? Is anything done to them? 30 years ago I knew of a brother who was DA for being drafted, the judicial committee was all retired military!

First welcome to the board Fading Eld
Sorry to hear of your problems Fading eld. Next time the elders meet with you, tell your wife: "welcome to the spritual paradise!" This is what the new system will be like for those that think of the info they are being fed. (remember: there are no bigger fools than those that fool themselves)
